Lavender Blue Baby Bonnet
"The Lavender Blue Baby Bonnet is a true heirloom piece. It's lightweight, spring-like, perfect for Easter and filled with textures that compliment, and contrast for a one of a kind accessory. It would also make an adorable photo prop or baby shower gift. Any light-weight fingering yarn/sock yarn should work. You could also make this with 2 strands of crochet thread, or only one strand if you're looking for a preemie/newborn size. It's a highly versatile pattern, and can be made larger using thicker yarns/larger hook sizes. I've included some more specific instructions on the blog."
