Ilka Bonnet

9 mm bulky gauge · Single bed

The Ilka Bonnet is a cosy hood-style bonnet featuring a simple stockinette stitch and a long strap for tying. The design is knitted in two separate pieces, with shaping worked in opposite directions, then sewn together using mattress stitch. It’s a beginner-friendly project with a clean, minimal look.
