This listing is for a PATTERN ONLY. It is an advanced beginner friendly/easy intermediate knitting pattern that includes several sizes: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months, 2-4 years - on Oct 2019 i added one more size - 4 years to teen (but it will fit most adults too!).

if you are not sure about your knitting skills, you can always message me and ask for help :)
i believe all the stitch details and every aspect of how to make this bonnet is described in detail in my PDF pattern - it has photos of every step!

gauge: 19st in 4inches (10cm).

You will need Worsted or Medium weight yarn and US size 7-8 / 4,5-5mm knitting needles, and a tapestry needle or crochet hook to weave in the yarn ends and also the same tapestry needle to graft stitches at the back of the bonnet (that is easy - link to awesome grafting tutorial inside the pattern!)

you will need up to 70 grams of yarn for the smallest size, up to 90 grams for 6-12m size, up to 110 grams for 12-24m size, up to 130 grams for 2-4 years and up to 150 grams of yarn for 4+ size.

one part of the balaclava is knit flat, the other part is knit in the round. you will need either a long circular needle (magic loop knitting! yes, and there is a link to an awesome magic loop knitting too!) or five double pointed needles (i have done all the math - there it says how many stitches on each needle works best!) for the part that is knit in the round. for the flat part you can use any length circular needles or any single pointed or long Afghan needles.

THIS IS AN INSTANT DOWNLOAD. Once payment is completed, you will receive an email with a link to your product download. You may also access your downloads, at any time, by viewing your etsy purchases page.
