27: The Roe Bonnet

Good morning all! Pattern number 27! Woah we're getting there. Almost done now!
How are you going with the hat drive? Have you reached your goals?
Remember, we don't post until the 15th of October.

Today's bonnet features a little bow and stripe in contrasting colours, giving it just enough pop! This bonnet would be great for using up brighter scraps of variegated yarns!

Take a long piece of CC yarn and tie it around the center of the rectangle, this will pull the sides in creating a bow. Tie a knot in the back to keep it in place. Wrap the yarn around the center of the bow a few times and then tie a knot in the back to keep the loops tight and in place. Sew the bow to the side of the bonnet. Weave in tails.
