I recieved a second hand bonnet for my little one and I just love the design! It's not too old-fashioned and feminine for a little boy, but still gives you the essential brim and ear coverage that is a must.
The bonnet was made with a light-weight cotton and perfect for Summer, but with Autumn fast approaching I was inspired to create a replica!
I simply traced 3 easy pieces from the original hat (baby blue) - brim, back, & main strip - and then used an old flannel pillow case to assemble the new one (grey). Using the opportunity to recycle my plastic milk jug, I used a semi-circle piece cut out for the brim. It was perfectly flexible yet stable and worked great.
This pattern is so easy and would be so simple to make for different sizes. I made mine reversable so next time I'll use 2 different colours for some variety.
