Squishy garter stitch and squishy babies are a match made in heaven. The Going Home Bonnet was designed as part of a set for my own baby to wear going home from the hospital. Bonnet is knit flat from the front until the crown, when it is joined in the round and crown decreases are worked. Slipped stitch columns add a touch of style to an otherwise simple bonnet. Attached I-cord ties create a neat finish and secure method of tying the bonnet.

Pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.
