🧶 The Delamere Bonnet Pattern is now available!
I'm so excited to finally share this pattern with you.
The Delamere Bonnet is a timeless newborn bonnet designed with 100% cotton yarn, making it soft, breathable, and beautifully suited to summer babies and warmer climates. Its airy stitch pattern allows plenty of airflow while still providing gentle coverage, making it an ideal choice for the tropics or anywhere the weather is warm.
The pattern is available on Ko-fi for a minimum donation of under ₱90 (GBP £1). Every purchase helps support the Hats for Hope project, covering the costs of collecting, packing, and shipping handmade hats to a free maternity center in Zambales, where around 40 babies are born each month. If you'd like to make a larger donation, you're welcome to contribute above the minimum amount to further support the project.
I'm so encouraged that we've already received 135 handmade hats, with our first shipment heading out this July. ❤️
If you'd simply like to make hats to donate, my Hats for Hope Basic Hat Pattern will always remain free. Delamere is simply another way to support the project while enjoying a new pattern.
Whether you crochet one bonnet, donate a hat, or simply choose to support the project through this pattern, thank you for helping welcome newborn babies with a handmade gift of warmth, comfort, and love.
