Straw Bonnet

Bonnet

Constance is sitting in a hat made out of Paper straw, which I started to unpick last year to make some straw bonnets for the Hittys.

Straw

I have quite a bit of the people hat left, but meanwhile a Hitty friend sent me some other colours of hatstraw to experiment with!

What a fabulous yellow bonnet! It is perfect for Constance and yellow is such the best of colours, always cheerful and full of promise.

  It is a very “sunny-day” kind of bonnet, isn’t it? Constance loves it!

  Thanks so much to the friend who sent the hat straw! What fun to turn it from a tangle into sunbonnets!

Constance deserves a new bonnet for spring – She has been a good little hitty

Do you use a form or just use Hitty’s head for the form?

  Check out my May 1 blog – you will see how I made them using a form (and Hitty’s head is safe from being scratched)
