So, I wasn’t going to continue anymore patterns for the Ana Series. I mean, I already have 5 patterns in the series aren’t you all sick of it yet?? But this idea was wayyy too cute not to share!!!
Now we have the Ana Bonnet. Which has all of the beautiful textured stitches like the Ana Beanie, which has been a huge favorite of everyone!! It gets the most pattern views on crochetitcreations.com and the most sales on my Ravelry Store and Etsy Shop.
The BEST thing about the Ana Bonnet (besides the fact that it’s a cute bonnet, obviously) is that it comes in Baby to Adult sizes! I’ve had several requests fro the Ana Beanie in baby sizes, since it only comes in adult and child. So, here is the Ana Bonnet in not 1, not 2, but 6 sizes!!! Perfect to keep the whole family warm this winter!
Unlike the Ana Beanie, it is worked from the top down. But it does use some of the same beautiful stitches, like the camel stitch and post stitches. It is completed with super cute strings with pom poms and a larger pom pom on top. My testers really, really loved this pattern and I hope you do too!
If you are looking for more patterns in the Ana Series like I mentioned above, check out the Ana Beanie, Messy Bun Beanie, Infinity Scarf, Ear Warmer, and Fingerless Gloves! There is also a tutorial video on out YouTube Channel for the Ana Beanie.

I just made this for my granddaughter she’s gonna love it. How did you attach the poms to the side pieces?
I leave a long strand of yarn when tiring the center of the Pom. Use those long strands to sew onto the “braids” making sure to go through the center of the Pom many times to secure tight.
I’m on round 16 of the 3 to 5 yr.old pattern, and it’s measuring 22″ around and 6″ in height. I’m using red heart yarn and 5.5 hook. Is the hat supposed to be this large at this point?
That sounds too big. How was your gauge?
I did not do a gauge, but normally I do 54 to 55 sts. for that age. It may just be the way I crochet. It’s a nice pattern.
On rows 25-27 it says “repeat rows 21 & 22”, but row 21 is the last round of joining, so this doesn’t make sense to me. Can you please clarify rows 25-27? Thank you!
Forgot to clarify, I am making the adult size.
That is a typo! It’s repeat rows 23&24
Thank you about rows 25-27, it didn’t make sense to me either – glad I checked out the comments, too!
I struggled with this pattern because of the typo in rows 25-27. It would help if you corrected your pattern. I stitched it as written but didn’t like it. I took it out and was doing double crochet until I read through the comments and found the answer to the typos. Please fix it. Also would be helpful to tell how and when you did color changes. I liked the pattern because of the two colors. I was able to figure out the color changes but should be noted in the pattern. Sorry to be negative but I really liked the photo and am making this for my great niece. I want others to enjoy this cute pattern as well.
It is corrected, thanks for pointing it out. On the purple and pink bonnet, the post stitches rows were completed in pink and the rest in purple.
I crocheted the 2 year size in lavender and cream. Was very pleased with the pattern. It was easy to follow, easy to crochet and I loved the way the seam fell to the side to camouflage it. I will crochet again and try your other patterns. Thank you.
