Make Your Own Crochet Baby Pixie Bonnet

I love pixie bonnets, they're so whimsical!!!

I've just released a pattern so you can now make your own crochet baby pixie bonnet!  The main stitch is a crochet shell stitch which adds a sweet feminine texture.  The pattern uses a bulky weight yarn so this bonnet can be made up quick and easy for a fun evening project or a last minute gift.

The crochet pattern provides a materials list, directions and photos to guide you through making your own crochet baby pixie bonnet from sizes newborn to child.

It's written for an intermediate skill level; someone who is able to read patterns, and has a knowledge of basic stitches.  I've set up a Crochet Lessons Series to make it easier to practice those basic skills that you may need a little help with. And I've just added the Shell Stitch Lesson to help walk you through the main stitch of this new pattern with a a bonus Shell Stitch Blanket pattern, which means you could make a Pixie Bonnet and Crochet Baby Blanket matching set!!!

If you end up making this hat, or the blanket, or just starting out with the basic lessons, I'd love to hear how your progress is going and see what you've been making! You can find me on Instagram @emily_bluecorduroy or shoot me an email at emily.bluecorduroy@gmail.com.

Ruffled Sunbonnets in a Field of Flowers

I'm so in love with these Ruffle Sunbonnets! They totally remind me of the prairie girl bonnets I used to make for my girls when they were little and pretending to be Laura Ingalls.  The big ruffle does a fabulous job of keeping the sun off their faces.

Just like with the Visor Sunbonnet, their ears stay covered as well.  This is great news if you have a baby like mine where their little ears can get sunburned, but it also keeps their ears protected if its a bit windy out.

Another bonus I've discovered with the bonnet style sun hat is that if you have a baby not yet sitting, or have a toddler riding in a stroller, there is no brim to have to figure out what to do with, the hat stays comfortably on their head without flipping forward or being an uncomfortable bulge in back.

These guys are available in three different color patterns, Golden, Black and White Stripes, and a Vintage Floral.
