Crochet Baby Bonnets are among many of my favorite projects. They are easy and fun to make, and you can make a nice little stack pretty quickly. They are really suitable to use as a maternity gift, and they are just so adorable around a little chubby baby face 🙂
This Crochet Baby Bonnet matches my pattern for Crochet Parisian Cardigan for Baby. Together the two parts make an adorable set that I have made over and over again for my 2 little nieces when they were small. The set brought great happiness 🙂

Hi, could this pattern be modified to fit ages 18-24 months? Thanks!
Yes it can, just try making more increasing rounds. But instead of 12 increases in each round I would make only 6, so it doesnt become too big.
