Celebrate Green with: A baby bonnet to treasure

This bonnet is featured in our book, Celebrate Green!, but without the instructions. A couple of notes:

• When possible choose a vintage handkerchief, one from a family member is best, but if not available, try purchasing through local vintage shops or online.
• Smaller handkerchiefs work best. Those with tatted, crocheted or lace edges make beautiful bonnets.
• Wash the handkerchief in pure soap and cool water and dry before starting.
• If the handkerchief is discolored or has any spots, try wetting and leaving in the sun. Do not bleach.
• Use loose machine stitches or sew by hand because one day, the stitches will come out and it will be easier if they are not tiny and close together.
• Print out a copy of the note that you can give with the bonnet, here.
