If you’ve read my About page, you may know that I had a baby's bonnet business back in 2016. Well, ten years later, I’ve revisited my archives to bring you Willow, a PDF baby bonnet sewing pattern!
This fully lined bonnet comes with three animal options: bunny, bear, and fawn. It can become a baby Halloween costume, a sweet accessory for a photo session, or an everyday bonnet. Here are a few ideas to inspire you!
A Halloween costume for your baby
Looking for a Halloween costume you can sew for your baby? With the Willow pattern, choose bunny, bear, or fawn ears to create an adorable costume that’s comfortable to wear. Your little one can move freely, and the bonnet can be worn long after Halloween.
A bonnet for every season
You can also sew Willow without the ears to make an everyday bonnet. Choose linen or cotton for warmer days, or wool, lightweight corduroy, or flannel for cooler weather. By changing the fabric, you can make a bonnet that suits both the season and your little one’s style.
An accessory for a photo session
Planning a baby photo session? A handmade bonnet adds a personal touch to your portraits. Sew it without ears for a classic look, or keep the animal ears for a playful detail.
