The Toot Sweet Newborn Bonnet is as close as you can come to immediate gratification! Not to mention simple, stunning, and pillowy soft!
The Toot Sweet Newborn Bonnet requires just 30 yards of super chunky yarn, about a yard of ribbon, and some embellishments. You can make the bonnet and embellishments in less than an hour (assuming you don't have 3 other kids interrupting you every few minutes, ahem), and it's sure to be a hit at any baby shower. No need to tell them just how quick and easy it was to make!

Break yarn and use seamless join to finish off, joining the end of the yarn to the start of Row 8. Weave in ends.
Thread the ribbon through Row 7, with the ends coming from the inside (see photo at top). Sew on Rosette and Leaves embellishments, or embellishments of your choice.

Trista says
Would the pattern need adjusted if using non chunky yarn. I had planned on using 4ply yarn!
thank you for sharing.
moogly says
Trista it will either be lacey or much smaller - you can try it, but you'll most likely need to either add sts and rows or hold 2-3 strands of 4ply together.
Trista says
Thank you so much!
Trista says
Ok thank you so much!

I have used this pattern several times, using different finishing "touches". This time I wrote a pattern for a matching pair of newborn Leg Warmers. Thank you so much for sharing your patterns! Pics can be found on my facebook page as I saw no way to leave them here, at From This to That! Melissa's Crochet & Crafts. I did however post the most current one on your moogly f/b page. 🙂

I'm a new hooker. Lol
Just started to teach myself about two months ago. I'm LOVING it! I just made this bonnet and am really impressed with how adorable it is and how simply it works up. I used Lion Brand Yarn (Baby's First in white). It turned out beautifully! Thank you!!
Tamara Kelly says
😀 You're very welcome, and a big WELCOME to the world of crochet!!
Ruth says
Do you have measurements (length, width) of the hat? trying to figure out if my guage is correct. Love the hat! Making now!
Tamara Kelly says
I'm afraid I do not - but I estimate it to be around 6x13". 🙂
MaryLou Burgoyne says
