My Brother does Crochet (MBdC) - The Sandy Bonnet

As I promised here's the first crochet piece that my brother Saldy made. He's not the person on the picture but my friend Sandy. :) Next time I'll convince him to wear his own crochet project. 

Crochet Adventure

And so it begins..

As I was thinking of what project to make, I can't decide on where to start. So I browsed and browsed the net. I had made my constant trip to Pinterest and some blogs.

You see, once you pinned a picture in Pinterest a new page is suggested which is somehow related to what you just pinned. So there, I kept on pinning crocheted baby items. Babies are so adorable even with just a beanie on them. ^_^ And so it hit me. I started with baby beanie. Just a simple one for a starter like me.


Here you go.

Chuchu is so adorable in the preemie bonnet. :)
