FINISHING Fold the bonnet in half with the right side facing in. Using the 30” (76cm) tail of yarn that you cut off, stitch up the two sides of the bonnet along the cast off row (where the needle is in the image below) and continue stitching back down along the edges of rows together, but STOP stitching when you have an un-‐sewn edge of about 4” (10cm) wide (See image below) The tape measure is against the un-‐sewn edge). You need to keep this part un-‐stitched so that the bonnet can fit around the baby’s head.
Finish off any loose ends. Once the back is stitched up and the bonnet is laid flat, it should measure about 4.75” (12cm) wide and 5.5” (14cm) long along the front edge. CROCHET FRILLY EDGE IN CONTRASTING COLOUR Row 1 (WS): With the wrong side of the hat turned out and using a 4.5mm crochet hook and CC yarn, sl st to the front edge of the bonnet.

PANTS: Using US size 11 (8mm) needles and MC yarn, cast on 40 st, BUT leave a long tail of yarn about 30” (76cm) at the start for stitching up the back of the pants at the end. Row 1 (RS): k Row 2 (WS): p
Row 3 Eyelet row (RS): *k2, yfwd, k2tog** Repeat from * to ** to the end (40 st including the yfwd stitches) Row 4 (WS): p40 (every time you come to a st that looks like a twist, these are the yfwd st from row 3. DO NOT UNWIND, but purl into that st. This will ensure you end up with 40 st count at the end of this row)
Rows 3 and 4 create 10 ‘holes’ or eyelets for threading through the ribbon to tie the top of the pants at the end. Rows 5: k40
Row 6: p40
Repeat rows 5 and 6 until you reach row 18. Make sure you end on row 18 (purl row) If you measure the length of your piece of work now, it should be around 4.5” (11.5cm) tall. The top part of the pants will roll in slightly so stretch it out before you measure your work to ensure you get the right length.
If your piece of work is too short, continue working the stockinette stitch pattern until you reach the desired length, but make sure you end on a purl row so that you are ready for knitting the legs on the right side of your piece of work.
KNITTING THE LEGS ONE SIDE AT A TIME RIGHT LEG:
Row 1 (RS): k20 st. Put the remaining 20 stitches which are still on the left hand knitting needle on a large knitting safety pin. You will work these stitches later.

Row 4 (WS): p20 st Repeat rows 3 and 4 until you reach row 10 (including row 1 of the start of the right leg). End on row 10 (the purl row).
If you stretch out your piece of work, the waist to the bottom of the right leg should measure approximately 7” (17.5cm). You can make the legs longer, if you wish or shorter, but just keep a note of how many rows you work on the right leg so that you knit the same on the left leg.
Cast off in knit loosely. Leave a tail of yarn about 20” (51cm) for stitching up at the end. Cut yarn and pull through the last st.
LEFT LEG:
Transfer the 20st that you had left on the knitting safety pin back to your knitting needle. JOIN MC yarn from the skein back to your piece of work (just before the first st on your knitting needle)

Your finished piece of work will look a bit like this:

Stitch up the sides of each leg together using the 20” (51cm) tails of yarn that you had left at the end of each leg. Sew in any loose ends and cut excess yarn. Turn pants the right way around.
