Two Knitted Bonnets!

As I mentioned before, I like the book called "More Last-Minute Knitted Gifts" and knitted two bonnets from the book.   It was a pretty short work to get them done so that I made two.  The pink one was supposed to be donated and the yellow and my daughter was going to be wear the yellow and white bonnet; however, the yellow and white one became better than the pink one!  I know why!  It was just because the pink bonnet was my first work.

The yarn: Warm! Warm! (Yokota) 2 skeins (Well, 1.5 skeins are enough.) The needle: JP8 or similar size, I prefer a circular needle rather than regular knitting needle because the long sticks doesn't bother me at all! This pink is very girly!

Here I made a striped bonnet.
