Hey everyone! Someone had suggested a video on the new Princess Charlotte's bonnet. I checked it out and realized how cute it would be and I think you guys will like this one. Worked only with 2 needles, straight. By measurements it should fit newborn to 6month maybe. Let me know. Hope you enjoy.
Thanks for coming back and watching!
