I love your pattern. It turned out beautiful! Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback!! <3
hi I love this bonett but after the 2nd row it doesnt make sense on the increases?
Did you watch the video on how to do the puff stitch? The puff stitch has a CH 1 between them. Its part of the stitch. So when you SC into each stitch.. you get 2 SC for each puff stitch you made.
ok now I understand but not all puff stitch patterns have a ch1 in them I think that is why it wasn’t makeing sense to me but thank you now I can try to make it by the way I LOVE THIS BONETT
<3 Let me know if you have anymore questions <3
this is so pretty– thank you again for sharing the ‘how-to’ and pattern. it’s beautiful.
You are very welcome! And Thank you!
this is so adorable, I’m gonna give a try for my 11 mo. old baby..i see this is for 0-3 months.
How do i make it bigger ? should i SC more than 10 in the 1st row? if so, how many SC ? what do you recommend?
Thank you for sharing!

Hi Corina
I am French and I crochet for dolls. I have a blog where I share my creations with other women. Your pattern “The puff bonnet” for babies is lovely and I made it for my favorite doll. But I adapted it a little bit. I crocheted a dress with this stich too and it turned out to be very cute!
So I would like to know if I can post the pattern of this outfit on my blog. I’ll post a link to your blog and say that the original pattern is yours, of course! But a lot of my readers don’t speak English and the French translation is neccessary… Do I have your permission?
Thanks a lot
I usually do not “ok” stuff like this but I see no harm. Feel free to post your pattern on your site
Would love to see it too!! So please share a link with me 
Thanks a lot! I posted the pattern on my blog, here is the link:

Don’t worry about me distributing the pattern to everyone. Readers can’t access my patterns directly, they must ask for them.
Love this pattern! Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve made 2 today, I’ve been looking for a simple but cute bonnet pattern! I found it! <3
