So I had been seeing these hats on etsy and really wanted to make one but couldn't find a 'new' free pattern that I liked. Then I came across this
http://www.antiquecrochetpatterns.com/crochet-bonnet.html. First written in 1915 so I had no idea what size hook to use or ply of yarn. I have recently found out that the yarn they used was 2 ply. Anyways I used a 3.50mm hook and 8ply yarn and it came out in a size that should fit a 1-2 year old. Obviously I didn't do the fold over and added braids. I did 14 rows in the purple and 3 in the white. The pattern for the rose can be found here
