I've been holding out....

Yes, I have. I have another FO! And this is a cute one!

One of my coworker's daughter had a baby in October. A girl! I have been wanting to make the baby bonnet by Erika Knight for the longest time. I made the bonnet ages ago and I finished it right before New Years. I didn't show a picture because I wanted a shot of it on THE BABY! Right?

Here she is, Baby "A"

okay it's a little big for her.....

Okay so it looks like it's swallowing her.

Well I am looking at the photo and "HEY MOM" you got it on backwards!

I probably should have sent her these for instructions

Because it's so cute here is a side view:

and

That's alright. She will grow into it and hopefully a new picture with the bonnet on correctly will be here soon.

She is still cute eh?

Very cute! Both the baby and the bonnet. I can't wait until someone I know has a baby girl and I can knit that hat. Lately it's all been boys.

Oh my god!!! It's too cute! I love the ribbons (and yeah, it would probably look better on the right side, but it's still so darn cute!)

Oh dear...now we've got a middle aged Sheep rethinking her baby ban! Too cute!!! I wonder if I could get one of the cats to wear a sweet little bonnet?

So precious!

"A" is wicked cute! She looks rather concerned about the bows by her ears though.

For a second, I thought you were going to say you had a baby as a FO. The hat is amazing, of course, but she looks none too pleased to be wearing it.

Hilarous! I adore that pattern. When I knit it for a friend, I was afraid the big ribbon rosettes would be in the way or not very secure for a little one... you very wisely secured them with buttons! So clever! The bonnet turned out so beautifully and the baby is just precious.

So cute! It does look like the ribbon is eating her ;)

I *love* it! And I love how you've secured the ribbons with buttons!
