ELLI BONNET
by Lea (@kisskiss.rhinestones)
ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Elli Bonnet is a quick little project that will keep you warm and looking super cute. It uses
under 25g of lace weight mohair held double which makes it perfect for using up your larger scraps
or trying out a new yarn. This project is beginner friendly but you will need to be able to do a knit
stitch, purl stitch, work i-cord, increase, and decrease. It is worked flat in 1x1 rib.
