Eloise Bonnet

December 12, 2014 By: Tamara Kelly35 Comments

The Eloise Baby Sweater has been such a popular pattern, I wanted to design a hat to go with! When I asked what sort of hat people were looking for, the resounding answer was a bonnet! And so.. introducing the Eloise Bonnet!

The Eloise Bonnet is available in 3 sizes, ending around 19″, which should fit even most 2-3 year olds. This is a baby style bonnet, so it’s sized for babies! If there’s interest in a larger hat for girls/adults, let me know and I’ll design something a little more grown up.

This bonnet uses hdc stitches in place of the dc stitches found in the sweater. This allowed for more precise sizing, as well as a thicker, warmer hat! To make it truly weatherproof however, I would suggest a sewn fleece lining.

    Its so cute! If you’re taking votes, I would loooove a big kid or teen/adult version of this. Bonnets are just so beautiful. I really like how you’ve made a more modern version of the bonnet here. Thanks again for the pattern!

    What a delightful little sweater! I would love to be able to make it for my grand daughters. I would need a size 2T and a 6 for my precious girls. Any chance that you might be able to offer a pattern with larger sizing? It’s adorable!

      Sewing isn’t really my area of expertise, but tracing the shapes would be a good start I think?

      Hi Diane! You can make the circle that starts it bigger, about as big as you’d make for a hat you were making her, and then work the rows from there. 🙂 I also designed a more “grown up” hat for this sweater called A Very Good Hat, which you can find at: https://www.mooglyblog.com/good-hat/

    TAMARA, YOUR DESIGNS ARE WONDERFUL. ALSO THE LITTLE TIPS YOU GIVE ALONG THE WAY ARE MORE THAN GENERIOUS. I MADE THE ELOISE JACKET FOR MY BABY GREAT- GRANDDAUGHTER. IT WAS GORGIOUS! ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT I DIDN’T HAVE THE CORRECT MEASUREMENTS. DISPITE ASKING NURMEROUS TIMES. SHE MUST TRUELY BE TINY BECAUSE THE 12 MONTH SIZE WAS TOO LARGE. I THINK PROBABLY A NINE MONTH SIZE WOULD BE BETTER. CAN YOU TEACH US HOW TO COUSTOMIZE THE SIZE AS NEEDED. THANK YOU AGAIN TAMARA FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO THE CRAFT.

      Thank you so much Char! Children grow so fast that it’s hard to get an exact measurement! To make it just a bit smaller, you can just go down a hook size or two. 🙂

    I HAVE MADE THIS SWEATER FOR MY YEAR OLD GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER AS WELL AS THE BONNET. BOTH ARE VERY CUTE AND THE YARN IS VERY WARM FOR THE COLD NEW YORK WEATHER. I MADE A SIMILAR SWEATER FOR HER 2 YEAR OLD BROTHER. I FOUND THAT PATTERN (ALTHOUGH SIMPLE) MUCH HARDER. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT, SWEET PATTERN.

    Hi Tamara, I found your video on YouTube and made the beautiful Eloise sweater for my granddaughter. I enjoyed making it so much. Thanks for a lovely and easy to follow pattern.

    I have just completed a second sweater that I would like to sell from my Etsy shop. I’ve posted the listing and want to make sure I’m giving you the proper credit and link to your blog. Please let me know if this is ok as is or if you want me to change it.

    Hi. Love your Eloise sweater. I am in the process of making the bonnet and have a question. You say that the bonnet can be made in 3 month, 6 month and 12 month sizes. I was wondering how I would make an 18 month size? Thanks

      Thank you Linda! I would add a Round 8 before the brim, increasing by 9 sts – Ch 1, hdc in the first 6 sts, 2 hdc in the next st, *hdc in the next 6 sts, 2 hdc in the next st; repeat from * around; join to first st with a sl st. (72 hdc) Then for the brim, I’d crochet in the first 64 sts leaving the rest unworked. 🙂

    Tamara, Did you ever make this bonnet pattern for big kids and/or adults? I would love to make this for my granddaughters. Maybe even one for myself! 😉 I would definitely prefer the bonnet style to the beanie version…grown up hair!! Thank you for sharing your patterns they are just lovely! Emily

      Hello Emily! I’m afraid I did not, but I can give you the formula for doing so! 🙂 Just work the initial circle to the same circumference as you would for a beanie that size, and then work the brim in stripes in rows, as many as needed to fit! For the stitch count for the brim, you want to leave about 12-15% of the circle stitches unworked for the neck opening.
