- +Preparation
- When choosing your size, keep in mind the Wrap and Bonnet is supposed to sit securely against the head but not feel as if it is squeezing.
- If you get stuck with fitting, see our favorite resources at
- Fabric
- Teardrop Wrap – This can be anything with a light stretch, 5%, like a stretch/knit fabric, or even terrycloth/toweling. Great examples are double brushed poly, athletic knit, bamboo, or french terry.
- Rectangle Wrap – This can be anything with a light stretch, 5%, like a stretch/knit fabric, or even terrycloth/toweling. Great examples are double brushed poly, athletic knit, bamboo, or french terry.
- Bonnet
- Band – This needs to be a stretch/knit fabric, like double brushed poly, athletic knit, bamboo, or french terry.
- Your fabric will need to have at least 30% stretch with good recovery to fit as it’s designed. To check how much stretch your fabric has, take a piece of fabric, and pull along its stretch. If it allows you to stretch it at least 30% longer than its original length, then it has at least 30% stretch. I.e. A 2-inch piece of unstretched fabric should be able to be stretched to 2.6 inches.
- If your fabric has a 4-way stretch, you can cut the pieces with the grainline in the opposite direction to the pattern pieces.
- Bonnet – This can be a woven, knit, or waterproof fabric. Great choices include satin, bamboo, or PUL fabrics.
- Band – This needs to be a stretch/knit fabric, like double brushed poly, athletic knit, bamboo, or french terry.
- ⅜ inch to ½ inch wide Button x1
- ¼ inch Plush Elastic for the button – approximately 4 inches will be enough for all sizes.
- NOTE – Corded elastic will work as well.
- ¼ inch Elastic –
- Teardrop – 22 inches is sufficient for all sizes.
- Rectangle – 12 inches is sufficient for all sizes.
- Bonnet with Elastic – 21 inches is sufficient for all sizes.
- Thread to match
- Use a ball point needle of a size appropriate to your fabric when working with knits – The ball point needle has a slightly rounded tip and will prevent from damaging the fibre. Use ball point pins or clips and, if you can’t, use regular pins into the seam allowance and you should be just fine.
- Use a stretch stitch – You can use either a short and narrow zigzag or a stretch stitch (lightning bolt stitch) for construction. Test on a scrap of fabric to find which stitch and tension settings work best for you. You don’t want the fabric to pucker under your stitches.
- Your machine might have many fancy stretch stitches and you are welcome to play with them, but often the basic zigzag or stretch stitch are just right.
- Use a walking foot – Using a walking-foot is not a necessity but it is highly recommended when working on a stretchy knit. The walking-foot helps to prevent one layer of fabric from stretching out while sewing. Both layers of fabrics are fed at the same time under your needle.
- Reduce your presser foot tension – Some machines will allow you to change your presser foot tension. Check your manual to see how to reduce your presser foot tension. Reducing tension will prevent your fabric from stretching while it goes through the machine.
- Use a ball point twin-needle (double needle) for top stitching – Using a twin-needle will give you a regular double line of straight stitches on the right side and a short and stretchy zigzag on the wrong side. Alternately, if you don’t own a twin needle, you can use a medium size zigzag stitch for hemming and topstitching. I like to lengthen my stitch a little when top stitching with the twin needle. Test on a scrap of fabric to find what works best for you.
- Finishing the seams – Because knits don’t fray, it isn’t strictly necessary to finish your seams. That being said, you will achieve a more polished and durable look if you do an overcasting or zigzag stitch on your raw edges.

Printing Your PatternSettings
The pattern is a separate download. Choose either the US letter paper, A4 paper, or A0 paper size based on the printer you wish to use. If you are in the US or Canada then your printer will likely use US letter paper. Other regions normally use A4 paper. Some people prefer to print their patterns at a print shop: A0 is best in this case.
Print at 100%.
On the second page, you will find a 1-inch and a 3-inch square test box. Print this page first, on its own, and measure these squares.
Once you are happy that the test box is accurate, print the rest of the pattern pages.
Please follow this video for information and assistance on assembling this pattern.

NOTE – To cut fabric on the fold, fold your fabric over parallel to the selvage edges. Align the pattern piece so it is on the fold of the fabric. Cut around the edges, leaving the fold. If you have folded your fabric correctly the fold will be parallel to the two edges of the fabric that are finished. The raw edges (e.g. the ones you could pick at, and threads would come off) will be at a right angle to your fold.
Fabric TipsTips for Sewing with Knit Fabrics
Using a serger is not a necessity to sew with knit fabrics! Here are a few tips to get the best results on a regular sewing machine:
Here is an example of some of the stitches you could use.
From left to right: Ballpoint twin-needle, narrow zigzag, stretch stitch (lightning bolt), overcasting
- + Instructions
- TEARDROP WRAP – Right sides together, sew curved end together. Fold raw, other edge ¼ then ½ inch to the wrong side, pressing each fold. Folding button elastic into a loop, slide ends under fold at pattern marking. Stitch around outside edge, leaving a 1 – 2 inch gap for inserting elastic, securing the button elastic with additional stitches. Insert elastic, overlap ends and stitch together. Close gap with additional topstitching. OPTIONAL – Flip button elastic toward outer edge and stitch. Attach button at pattern marking.
- RECTANGLE WRAP – Fold Rectangle Wrap in half, right sides together, matching short, raw edges. Stitch each edge with a ⅜ inch seam allowance. Turn right sides out. Fold raw, other edge ¼ then ½ inch to the wrong side, pressing each fold. Baste at each end in between pattern markings. Align one end of elastic ¼ inch past marking and secure in place. Repeat for opposite end of elastic. Repeat for elastic at second end. Using a stretch stitch, topstitch around outside edge.
- BONNET WITH BAND OPTION – Align the short raw edges of the Band, right sides together, fold in half along the short edge, stitch. Open the Band, turning the right sides out then find the quarter points of both the Band and the Bonnet. Run gathering stitches around outside of Bonnet. Match the quarter points, gather to match, stitch with a ½ inch seam allowance. Remove gathering stitches and press seam allowance up.
- BONNET WITH ELASTIC OPTION – Fold raw, other edge ¼ then ½ inch to the wrong side, pressing each fold. Insert elastic, overlap ends and stitch together. Close gap with additional topstitching.

Sewing –
1 . Teardrop WrapSeam Allowance
⅜ inch seam allowance included – Top stitching ⅛ inch – Basting ¼ inch
1.1Fold the Teardrop Wrap in half, right sides together, matching the curved and straight raw edges. Pin.
1.2Stitch or serge using a ⅜ inch seam allowance.
1.3Repeat step 1.2 for the second curved, raw edge.
1.4Turn right sides out.
1.5Fold the bottom, raw edge ¼ inch to the wrong side. Press.
1.6Fold another ½ inch. Press.
1.7Slide the button elastic loop under the fold at the center back of the Teardrop Wrap.
1.8Topstitch close to edge leaving a 1 to 2-inch gap, creating a channel for elastic.
TIP – Topstitch over the button elastic loop ends a few extra times for additional security.
1.9Pin a safety pin at one end of the elastic. Insert the elastic into the channel, using the safety pin to maneuver the elastic through to the other side.
TIP – Before using your elastic, exercise it first by pre-stretching the elastic a few times before using it. Steaming it can also help prepare it for use and help it maintain its shape.
TIP – Pin the loose end of the elastic to your wrap to prevent it from sliding into the channel.
1.10Overlap the short ends of the elastic by ½ inch. Pin.
1.11Stitch together using a zig zag stitch, stitching back and forth 3 – 4 times to secure the elastic.
Allow the elastic to fully enter the channel.
TIP – Check that your elastic has not twisted in the channel before stitching the ends together.
NOTE – A zig zag stitch with a width of 3.5 mm and length of 2.0 mm is recommended.
1.12Topstitch the gap left open in step 1.8 closed.
1.13Even out the distribution of fabric around the elastic.
1.14OPTIONAL – Fold button elastic loop back toward the outer edge of the Wrap and topstitch in place.
1.15Stitch the button in place at the center front approximately at the stitch line.
Your Teardrop Wrap is finished!
2 . Rectangle Wrap2.1Fold the Rectangle Wrap in half, right sides together, matching the curved and straight raw edges.
Pin or clip in place.
2.2Stitch or serge using a ⅜ inch seam allowance.
2.3Repeat steps 2.2 for the second curved, short end.
2.4Turn right sides out.
2.5Fold the bottom, raw edge ¼ inch to the wrong side. Press.
2.6Fold another ½ inch. Press.
2.7Baste along one end in between the markings.
TIP – If you haven’t done basting before, it is just like normal stitching except the stitches need to be long and loose so that you can remove them later, if needed. The idea is that you stitch within the seam allowance, so you don’t see the basting stitch in the final bag, but you want them to be loose enough to pull out just in case they are visible. The purpose is to hold a piece of fabric in place until you get to the point of stitching that section properly. Set your machine to a long loose stitch. Test it on a piece of fabric first to make sure you can easily remove it later. Do not back stitch at either end. Leave the ends loose and leave approximately 1 inch of thread tails at either end of your stitching.
2.8Insert the elastic into the fold and align the end of the elastic ¼ inch past the pattern marking.
TIP – Before using your elastic, exercise it first by pre-stretching the elastic a few times before using it. Steaming it can also help prepare it for use and help it maintain its shape.
2.9Stitch the end of elastic at the pattern marking.
2.10Stretch the elastic around to the second pattern marking, repeating step 2.8 to 2.9 to secure the second end of the elastic.
2.11Repeat steps 2.6 to 2.10 for the second end of the wrap.
2.12Using a stretch stitch, topstitch close to raw edge, all the way around the Wrap.
Your Rectangle Wrap is finished!
3 . Bonnet with Band OPTION3.1Fold the Band in half widthwise, right sides together, matching the short raw edges. Pin.
3.2Fold the Band in half lengthwise. Pin.
3.3Stitch or serge using a ⅜ inch seam allowance.
3.4Open the Band and turn right sides out.
Find and mark the quarter points of the raw edges.
TIP – Try the band on at this point to make sure it is snug against your head. Adjust as needed before continuing.
3.5Find and mark the quarter points on the outside edge of the Bonnet.
3.6Stitch two rows of gathering stitches around outside edge of Bonnet
Stitch the first row of gathering stitches ¼ inch from the edge of the fabric. Stitch the second row of gathering stitches ¾ inch from the edge.
To do this, set the sewing machine to a gather or basting stitch. If the machine does not have these stitches, use a regular straight stitch, and lengthen it to the longest stitch length possible with no backstitch (also called a locking stitch) at the beginning or end. Try it on a scrap of fabric first and check that after stitching, the threads can easily be removed by pulling on them. Depending on the machine, the bobbin tension may need to be loosened.
TIP – Stitch in the same direction for both rows of stitches (e.g. clockwise or counterclockwise). It does not matter which direction as long as both lines of stitches go the same way. This will make gathering a lot easier.
TIP – Use a different colored top thread to the bobbin thread. That way they are easy to differentiate when gathering. Also, it is a great way to use up all those left-over bobbin threads!
3.7Match the quarter points of the Bonnet and the Band. Pin.
3.8Gather the quarters of the Bonnet to match the length of the Band.
Find the pair of bobbin threads and very gently pull on both equally to gather the Bonnet. Gather the Bonnet all the way across the quarter you are working on until the Bonnet in that section fits the Band.
You will need to spread the gathering out gently with your fingers, so it looks evenly gathered.
Then move on to the next quarter and so on until the whole Bonnet has been gathered and now fits the Band.
3.9Stitch or serge Band to Bonnet using a ½ inch seam allowance.
3.10Remove the gathering stitches by gently pulling the ends of gathering thread so that they come all the way through. Find the thread from the underside of the fabric and pull this out too. Then, press the seam allowance up, toward Bonnet.
Your Bonnet with Band is finished!
4 . Bonnet with Elastic OPTION4.1FIT CHECK – Try on the cut length of the elastic. Elastics can have different tensions. Adjust as needed.
Overlap the short ends of the elastic by ½ inch. Pin.
4.2Stitch together using a zig zag stitch, stitching back and forth 3-4 times to secure the elastic.
Allow the elastic to fully enter the channel.
TIP – Check that your elastic has not twisted in the channel before stitching the ends together.
NOTE – A zig zag stitch with a width of 3.5 mm and length of 2.0 mm is recommended.
TIP – Check that your elastic has not twisted in the channel before stitching the ends together.
TIP – Before using your elastic, exercise it first by pre-stretching the elastic a few times before using it. Steaming it can also help prepare it for use and help it maintain its shape.
4.3Find and mark the quarter points of the elastic.
4.4Find and mark the quarter points on the outside edge of the Bonnet.
4.5Stitch two rows of gathering stitches around outside edge of Bonnet
Stitch the first row of gathering stitches ¼ inch from the edge of the fabric. Stitch the second row of gathering stitches ¾ inch from the edge.
To do this, set the sewing machine to a gather or basting stitch. If the machine does not have these stitches, use a regular straight stitch, and lengthen it to the longest stitch length possible with no backstitch (also called a locking stitch) at the beginning or end. Try it on a scrap of fabric first and check that after stitching, the threads can easily be removed by pulling on them. Depending on the machine, the bobbin tension may need to be loosened.
TIP – Stitch in the same direction for both rows of stitches (e.g. clockwise or counterclockwise). It does not matter which direction as long as both lines of stitches go the same way. This will make gathering a lot easier.
TIP – Use a different colored top thread to the bobbin thread. That way they are easy to differentiate when gathering. Also, it is a great way to use up all those left-over bobbin threads!
4.6Match the quarter points of the Bonnet and the Band. Pin.
4.7Gather the quarters of the Bonnet to match the length of the elastic.
Find the pair of bobbin threads and very gently pull on both equally to gather the Bonnet. Gather the Bonnet all the way across the quarter you are working on until the Bonnet in that section fits the elastic.
You will need to spread the gathering out gently with your fingers, so it looks evenly gathered.
Then move on to the next quarter and so on until the whole Bonnet has been gathered and now fits the elastic.
TIP – If you find it difficult to gather the Bonnet at the quarter points, gather it in smaller sections making it less likely or the gathers to get loose while attaching the elastic.
4.8Stitch or serge elastic to the Bonnet at or near the raw edge.
Trim the excess fabric outside of the elastic if needed.
4.9Fold the elastic toward wrong side of the Bonnet once, then again, to hide the raw edges of the fabric
4.10Topstitch near the edge of the elastic.
Your Bonnet with Elastic is finished!
