Crochet Flower Baby Bonnet Tutorial

• Create the foundation circle:
  • Make a slip knot and chain 3.
  • Form a ring with a slip stitch and chain 1.
  • Crochet 10 double crochets into the ring, marking the first stitch with a stitch marker.
• Increase rows for the bonnet’s base:
  • Row 2: Crochet 2 double crochets in each stitch, ending with 20 stitches.
  • Row 3 to 5: Follow the increase pattern to expand the circle gradually, reaching 50 stitches and a diameter of 4.5 inches by row 5.

• Shape the body of the bonnet:
  • Row 6 and 7 set the foundation for shaping the bonnet through alternating patterns (single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet).
  • Repeat rows 6 and 7 until the bonnet reaches 5.5 inches in height.
• Create the straps:
  • Chain the desired strap length, then single crochet through the chains starting from the second chain for durability and a neat look.

• Add ruffled edging:
  • Crochet 3 double crochets into the top loops of stitches around the bonnet edge to form ruffles.
• Finalize the piece:
  • Add single crochet edging around the bonnet and straps for a tidy finish.
  • Attach the handmade flower embellishment securely with a yarn needle.
• Finishing touches:
  • Weave in loose ends and ensure all details are complete to make the bonnet gift-ready or photo-ready.
