This little hat went out to a special newborn last week. I love the pattern! It’s all short row shaping. I added two buttons for sizing options. I used a very lightweight superwash extrafine merino, held double. Size 1 needles for the ribbing and strap, size 5 for the main body. The Aviator/Aviatrix bonnet pattern is a free Ravelry download by Justine Turner. I really enjoyed working on this project, and see it becoming my new favorite baby hat. I know too many babies who pull hats off – the earflaps and strap seem super practical.
