Crochet Flower Girl Bonnet

I have been working on the piece that never ends and as always my crochet ADD comes into effect. I had to take a break and spent my Saturday hooking up another bonnet. If you don't already know I love making bonnets. All little girls should wear them because they are just too cute!

This adorable Crochet Flower Girl Bonnet is available in preemie and newborn sizing.
