IBGHD 2019 Day 27 The Sa-Fire Treffers Bonnet

Good morning all, welcome to day 27.

Today's pattern is a worked flat ribbed bonnet. I love how once completed this bonnet has a little pixie look to it, especially with the way the point sits at the back, adorable!  This bonnet is designed for 32 weeks gestation, but being worked flat, it would be incredibly easy to add or subtract from the starting chains and the body repeats to resize.

This pattern is in remembrance of Sa-Fire Treffers.

10. Sadie Preemie Bonnet

Good morning lovelies and welcome to day 10! We've hit double digits now, how exciting!
How are you coming along with the hats so far? On target to reach your goals? I am!

Today's pattern is the first bonnet for the year, and boy is it a pretty one. The stitches in this bonnet remind me a little of leaves. It looks complicated, but I promise it isn't, just take it slow if your new to decreases and you'll do great. Also, it's worth noting to take care when counting the skip 3 on row 5, don't count the stitch you worked the sc into.

I do love bonnets so much! They are just adorable. They also have the advantage of being able to fit a larger size range, which is always handy.

I havn't tested this at a larger size yet, but I suspect that if you add one more increase round, and an extra repeat of rows 6-7 you should get newborn size. I'll come back and update when I have time to try it.

Hello hello beautiful people and hello day 30!

Well guys, here it is! The last pattern for this years hat drive! It's been an incredible month and an incredible effort. I honestly didn't think I'd make it in time, but here it is!

I'd like to say thanks to my testers, who picked up on my mistakes, and an even bigger thankyou to my family and friends, who stuck by me and encouraged me to keep pushing through, even though I'd hit an anxiety wall and didn't think I could.

The Kaila bonnet is a sweet thread bonnet with a variety of stitches. It's so very sweet and while it looks a bit intimidating, even beginners should be ok to tackle this one. It is, absolutely, one of my favourites from this years releases and I plan on making a lot more of them in the next 15 days!

Don't forget that we post all of our hats on the 15th of October, which is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. Feel free to take a photo or a video of yourself posting your hats, tag it #ibghd2016 and share it on my Facebook page, I'd love to see and hear about your hats and your tally!

29. The Kenai Bonnet

Good morning all!
Day 29, the second last pattern! Only one more to go now guys. It's been a ripper of a month for sure.
Today's bonnet was a suggestion by one of my girls, and I thought well, why not! It turned out so very sweet too. The little bear ears are just adorable. I hope you love this one as much as I do.

Chain 50 to make the first tie, end off.

To attach ears. Flatten ear piece so it looks like a half oval. Sew them in place on row 6 using a whip stitch. Depending on your personal preference, you can sew through both layers of the ear, or through each individual stitch around. Either option is fine. Play with the spacing and see which you prefer, mine sit 7cm/2.7” from the bottom of the ear to the bottom of the bonnet and approx. 9cm/3.5” between ears.

Weave in all ends.

Finished Measurements: 11.5cm/4.5” from crown to brim and 16cm/6.2” in height across the brim.

28. The Josie Bonnet

Hello hello and welcome to day 28 (Yes, a day late, I know ;) )

Today's bonnet is the Josie bonnet, and it's a brick type stitch, and an easy 2 row repeat, making it super easy to memorise.
I used a bamboo yarn to make this one, and it is so light and soft and squishy! I really do love bamboo yarns! I know I've said that before, but it's true!

Josie Bonnet

Sized To Fit:
28-30 Weeks Gestation

You Will Need:
DK weight/8ply yarn
4mm hook

All stitches are in American terms.

Leave a long tail (around 18cm) at the start for sewing up the back of the bonnet.

1: Ch47, sc into the second chain from hook and in the next chain, *ch2, skip the next 2 chains, sc in the next 2 chains*, repeat across. -24sc 11 ch2 spaces 20cm/7.8" long

2: Ch3 (counts as first dc), turn, 4dc in the next ch2 space and in each ch2 space across, skip the next sc and dc in the last sc (this will be the right side). - 46dc

3: Ch1, turn, sc in the first dc and in the space before the next 4dc cluster, *ch2, skip 4dc, 2sc in the space before the next 4dc cluster* repeat across to the last 4dc cluster, ch2, skip 4dc, sc in the space after the dc cluster and sc in the last dc (ch3 from prev. row). - 24sc 11 ch2 spaces

4-10: repeat rows 2 and 3, ending on a row 2.

11-13: ch1, turn, sc in each stitch across - 46sc.

14: Ch1 (place marker), turn, sc in each stitch across, place a second marker in the last sc.

Don't end off here, but stop to sew the back of the bonnet closed (wrong sides facing each other) I just whip stitch through the initial chains. (NOTE: I find that the stitches are hidden well enough, but if you are concerned about them being visible, then turn the bonnet so right sides are facing each other, sew the back closed then turn right side out again before continuing.)

Place your hook back into the last sc, and then evenly sc around the neckline of the bonnet. For me this was 33 sc. When you reach the first stitch marker, slst into that stitch, then chain 35 to create the first tie. End off.

Rejoin your yarn at the second stitch marker and chain 35 to make the second tie. Weave in all tails.

Finished Measurements: 10.5cm/4.1” from crown to brim, 11cm/4.3” in height at the shortest point (near the seam) and 14cm/5.5” in height at the longest point across the brim.

Bow:
With CC

5: Ch1, sc evenly down the side of the rectangle, sc in the chains along the bottom from row 1, sc evenly up the other side, sc in each stitch across, join to the ch1. You should have just sc around the entire rectangle. End off, weave in all tails. Your piece should measure 4.5cm/1.7” x 6.5cm/2.5”

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.

26. The Sasha Bonnet

Good morning all!

Playing catchup today. First, I am terribly sorry for the delay in the last few patterns.
Unfortunately a combination of tech issues, and mental healthy issues have prevented me from getting these done. The tech issues compounded the metal ones, and molehills definitely became mountains. Such is the nature of anxiety, and it's something I've had to learn to roll with.

Still, here we are, a few days late but here anyway! The Sasha bonnet, is a lovely little bonnet to fit a bub of 18 weeks gestation. I used Peter Pan 4ply for this and it is so incredibly soft! If you haven't tried Peter Pan yarn yet, you should, it's soft and spongy and everything I like in a baby yarn!
