Oh my goodness! These hats are about the cutest hats I have seen in quite a while. I love the pastel colors and found them just in time to make a few of these before Easter. They will be perfect Easter bonnets. They look so easy to make and look like they would work up quickly. These are definitely going on the top of my to do list. I have already printed the pattern out to a pdf. Thanks.

You will truly be amazed how quickly this basic bonnet works up. I have a huge stash of Bernat Blanket yarn that would be perfect for this project. Ive already made it in bulky yarn, so it will be interesting to compare the two. If you want to make the bonnet more feminine, you can add a row of shells after Row 8.
