Sundae Bonnet

Please welcome my latest spring design - Sundae Bonnet. I knitted this super easy hat for cool spring and summer days for my little baby. She is modeling her new bonnet together with her lovely dad :)

I used my favorite DK weight cotton yarn from Rico Design in beautiful Magenta color.

This bonnet is quick and easy to knit and it is completely seamless. The front of the bonnet is knitted back and forth while the crown is knitted in the round. An attached I-cord ending along neck edge is made between two I-cord ties. 

The knitting pattern for it is available from one of my pattern stores:

Cross-Bow Vest

Today I would like to share my latest knitted design - Cross-Bow Vest. I have been thinking about this beautiful bow stitch for a couple of months. I wanted to knit something simple and stylish at the same time. I also wanted to keep the bow pattern through the whole garment. So I came up with an idea of t-shape vest with boat neck shape.

This vest is very easy to knit. Both parts front and back are knitted similar but it takes some time to make up each bow and fix their centers with couple of stitches. It requires a bit of time and patience but the result is worth it.

Also this vest is perfect garment for all seasons. It can be knitted with wool yarn and combined with long-sleeve top for cold autumn/winter days. Also it can be knitted with summer cotton yarn and be a perfect spring/summer top for any outfit.

The sleeves edge is decorated with I-cord which match the pattern and looks really beautiful on this vest. I used sport/5-ply weight merino wool for my vest.

I wrote a knitting pattern for my Cross-Bow Vest. It is very detailed and contains row-by-row instructions for all sizes and very detailed assembly process in pictures.

The knitting pattern can be downloaded from one of my pattern stores:
