          \ud83e\uddf5 Instructions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          \ud83d\udd36 Step 1: Make the Granny Square (Back of Bonnet)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          This is a traditional 3-round granny square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Round 1:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Ch 4, sl st to first ch to form a ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc into ring, ch 2, 3 dc into ring, ch 2<\/em> repeat 2 more times<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Sl st into top of ch-3 to close.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • (You should have 4 clusters of 3 dc and 4 corner spaces.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Round 2:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Sl st into next 2 dc and into ch-2 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Ch 3, 2 dc in ch-2 space, ch 2, 3 dc in same space (first corner made).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • (Ch 1, 3 dc in next ch-2 space, ch 2, 3 dc in same space)<\/em> repeat around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Ch 1, sl st into top of ch-3.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Round 3:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Same as Round 2, but work (3 dc in ch-1 space, ch 1)<\/em> between corners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • You can stop here or add a 4th round<\/strong> if you want a slightly bigger bonnet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                \u2705 You now have the back of the bonnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                \ud83d\udd37 Step 2: Add the Bonnet “Walls”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                We will now work in rows<\/strong> on 3 sides of the square (leave one side open for the face).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Row 1:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Attach yarn at one corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Ch 3 (counts as dc), work dc in each stitch and ch-space<\/strong> across 3 sides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Row 2\u20135 (or until depth is 11\u201312 cm):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Ch 3, dc across.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Turn at end of each row.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    This forms the sides and top of the bonnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n\n\n\n

                    \ud83e\uddf6 Step 3: Crochet Border (Optional but recommended)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Attach yarn at neck corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Work sc or hdc evenly<\/em> all around the bottom and face edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • You can use a contrasting color for a vintage look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      • Repeat on other side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
