Knitted Red Bonnet

Here is the knitted red bonnet I wore as a small child, my mum has just given it to me. I remember wearing this hat, even though it was nearly 40 years ago! This was not made by anyone I know, I think my mum bought it from a shop.

It was the memory of this hat that inspired me to make a bonnet for Barbie in the same shape. Its simply two squares sewn together with a tie to hold it under the chin. Very simple!
