Pretty Shells Newborn Pixie Bonnet - Free Crochet Pattern | www.thestitchinmommy.com

In August, I posted my Pixie Shells Newborn Pixie Bonnet pattern using The Cotton Wool from We Are Knitters. I have finally written other sizes of the pattern and I am so happy to share them with you! I have written up 4 additional baby sizes. I hope you enjoy them. Happy Crocheting!

This post contains affiliate links. I do receive a commission if you make a purchase through my link(s), which helps support my blog and allows me to bring you more great posts! I also received a complimentary skein of the yarn used in this pattern, from We Are Knitters, to be used in my design. I was not financially compensated to use this products in my post.
