New Pattern: Lilacs for Lila

Way back in April, I knit this sweet little bonnet for Lila. I'm a sucker for knitted bonnets on babies, and I wanted something that would look vintage and gorgeous, but knit up super fast. It's perfect for using up DK weight yarn you have kicking around! It's easy to knit in a day or two, and you could make it even faster by using ribbon for the ties, instead of i cord. The pattern has sizing for babies 1 month- 4 years.

Sneak Peek: Lilacs for Lila

The yarn is Tanis Fiber Arts Yellow Label DK in 'Lilac'

Just before Easter, I decide to knit a little lilac-coloured bonnet for my wee one. Coincidentally, my mom bought her a lilac-coloured Easter outfit. Between Guy and I, we must have taken a hundred photos of Lila in her bonnet  but she was so quick that a lot of the best shots were a bit blurry. This was Guy's favourite of the bunch, although it's really a photo of me (my hair is tied back, I didn't get it cut) I've finished up the pattern, and just need to sort out some test knitting and then the pattern will go live! I think this will be a freebie, it's just an easy and fast little bonnet.
