This time of year was always my busiest time of year in my etsy shop. Why? Bunny Bonnets. I sold a couple thousand bunny bonnets over the decade my etsy shop was open. By April I LOATHED bunnies. I’m not going to lie, I’m so happy I don’t have to spend 14 hours a day making the same thing over and over and over again this spring. But I may make a bunny bonnet just for my own baby because next year she’ll probably be too big for one. *wipes tear*

Note: We are continuing on from part 2, becuase row count will vary based on the size you are making, we are starting the row count over. All sizes will work the same number of brim rows.

Work in a k2p2 ribbing (k2p2 across) for 4 rows. slipping the 1 st on each row flat portion for a 1 stitch salvage edge. End after completing a wrong side row. For Small Baby size bonnet, repeat Side row 2 until you have a total of 7 side rows and 10 rows total for your project. Work in a k2p2 ribbing (k2p2 across) for 5 rows. slipping the 1 flat portion for a 1 stitch salvage edge. You will now be working rows perpendicular to the bonnet. This will create the ribbed edging. These rows will be referred to as Edging Rows (ER). In the following instruction I will be referencing a sl st to attach to Row 11. This refers to Row 11 of the bonnet. Now your Crochet Bunny Bonnet is complete and ready to be enjoyed. They work up fast and make a great gift.
