Fairy Floss: Bonnet by Watmoughs Knitting Studio

Fairy Floss: Bonnet

Fairy Floss: Bonnet is on pages 24 and 25 in the book Easy Knits for Kids. It is illustrated on page 23. The book published in Australia contains instructions for knitting in 4ply yarn or 6ply yarn with no mention of specific brands.
