i just finished this sweet little pink silk baby bonnet (link to ravelry notes). now, i'm not sure if this yarn was the best choice to show off the beautiful leaf design at the back of this hat...but my, oh my, it certainly is the most luscious of yarn choices for a newborn. silk is an excellent natural fiber when it comes to knitting for little ones, as it's undeniably one of the softest things you could ever put next to their tender skin. and, i must say, i believe it is especially perfect when knitting hats for babies...as it keeps those precious (and oftentimes bald) little heads warm in cooler temperatures and cool in warmer temperatures (and we're certainly big fans of hats around here)!
on a whim, i decided to add a very simple crocheted border onto the front edge of this bonnet, to make it a bit more feminine and dainty (and i'm quite pleased, as i think it did just that)...
now all i really need to do is to get a photo of this little bonnet actually on a baby, so you can see just how sweet it really is!
