Bigger Bonnet for a Big Girl

desiree — Fri, 22 May 2009 19:13:14 +0000

I made this bonnet quite awhile ago for Deja, but my pattern turned out too big. It’s still a little too big for her, but she insisted on wearing it today. It has two snaps in the back so you can lay it flat to iron it, if needed.

Here she is looking so ladylike in her pretty bonnet.

And here she is busily taking out the awesome bow I finally got tied. Oh well, I was lucky she stayed nice and still for just one picture!

Lovely Baby Bonnets

These were a huge amount of work. Usually I avoid hand-sewing like the plague, but these I felt inspired to hand-bead! Crazy, I know.

I love the little button groupings. The beaded ones are circles of beads around tiny little buttons.

My lovely fancy bernina machine supplied the beautiful stitching around the edges. It was so fun to experiment with different stitches to find out which ones would look best.

I made five different ones and four of them are at the shop.

The size of hat in the original pattern will fit a size medium/large head. If your head is on the smaller side, use size 3.5 or 3.75 mm dpns, following the pattern just the same. This is the hat knit with 3.5 mm needles:

Even cuter, right? I love it.

I would say that’s a size small. I couldn’t find my 3.75 mm needles.
