Your baby can never have too many hats. But I would like to take the time to talk about baby bonnets. There are many types of baby bonnets, you can have them embroidered, crochet or knit. The very fancy baby bonnets can be used for a special occasions, Christenings or family portraits, you can also find other bonnets good for everyday casual wear such as a stroll down the park or even going to the grocery store.

Bonnet's can be purchased online, at retail stores of you have time you can knit or crochet your own for that very special little one. If you would like to create your own you can either go online and find directions on how to knit or crochet one or go to your local hobby shop and purchase a book on how to knit or crochet a baby bonnet.

Baby bonnets usually cover the entire head and are tied under the chin or held with an elastic band that either goes around the chin or around the rim of the bonnet.

Bonnet sizes will vary. It is difficult to tell if a 6-9 month size bonnet will fit your 7 month old baby. So make sure that whether you purchase one or make your own you measure your baby's head and look at the sizes carefully.

You can have bonnets for either boys or girls but generally they are mostly used by baby girls. I have found that some bonnets can become hankies by clipping a few stitches from them. This would be a nice keepsake for the day your baby gets married for the bride to have as "something old."
