Peppermint Pixie Bonnet Knitting Pattern

This adorable red and white peppermint pixie bonnet is knit flat with worsted weight yarn, making it the perfect Christmas knit!

While I may not have bonnet wearing babies anymore, they’re still one of my favorite things to knit. They’re just so cute! And if you like to knit baby hats and bonnets, then my pixie bonnet knitting patterns are great because they’re knit flat! And I know a lot of you really prefer knitting flat. I get it!

This cute peppermint pixie bonnet combines a classic candy cane peppermint stripe pattern with a fun striped icord for the ties and applied edge around the face. If you haven’t knit striped icord before, just keep in mind that when you’re knitting with one color you need the carry the other up INSIDE the icord until you need it next. It sounds trickier than it is, don’t worry! If you’d like a tutorial, check this out!

The peppermint pixie bonnet is knit flat with worsted weight yarn in red and white. It’s finished with and easy three needle bind off. And while it is knit flat, you still need double pointed knitting needles for the icord ties.

Are you ready to knit your own yummy candy cane pixie bonnet, let’s do it!
