Pixie Bonnet

I just finished this last night.  Started it on Friday night.  So it took me 24 hours.  It's all leftovers.  I ran out of the darker blue, so found the light blue at mom's.  It matches the light flecks in the dark blue.  We decided that seed stitch for the rest of it would look dumb since I had to switch colors, so I finished it in stockinette.  The brown ribbon is on it's second life.  The first life was tied to the bird feeder for my fall decorating.  This one is supposed to be infant size.  WRONG!!  It fits Isabele at age 2.  Guess it's more of a 1-2 year old size.  Just checked the guage on the finished hat.  Supposed to be 20 sts and 24 rows for 4 inches.  Mine is 20 sts and 20 rows.  So that would make it a little bigger...
Anyway - here are the pictures.  It was fun to make.

 Little crocheted flower on the side to tie the two colors together.




I must remember to always crochet seams together.  It looks so much better.  Just slip-stitch in every stitch to be joined.
