Another call for Pixie Bonnets!
My friend, Colleen, saw the pixie bonnets and wanted some for her girls, but they aren't infants any more and my pattern is only for infants. The pattern was easy to expand and these are the three products of my experimentation.

Round four (I think) of the beloved Pixie Bonnet.
The bright pink, white and green bonnet was made from remnant yarn. It's the smaller of the three and I followed the pattern directions, but I increased the cast on to 66. It's decorated with a bright apple green ribbon woven around the back side of the bonnet, with a white button strung through the ribbon.
The grey bonnet was made using Loops & Threads Impeccable in True Gray. It's the medium sized hat and I altered the pattern by casting on 70. I crocheted a pink butterfly from one of the many patters on Crochet Pattern Central and added in a dark gray line of yarn for the body and antenna.
The pink, brown and cream bonnet was made using Loops & Threads Impeccable worsted in Neopolitan Ombre. It's the largest bonnet and I cast on 74. It's decorated with a cream braid that I sewed on to the crown of the bonnet and little, fuzzy pink flowers that I made up just goofing around and embellished with pink beads.

The success of these bonnets is due to the adorable little heads they top. It doesn't get any cuter than Jocelyn and Kayla. Just look at the lovely faces I get to knit for.
