This sweet baby bonnet is the matching topper for the little pair of booties, Zoey’s Tootsies, released last year. These were especially designed for my niece, with whom they share a namesake. The bit of picot edging and the contrast colored “peek-a-boo” back, along with the adorable ribbon tie, are what make this little bonnet an heirloom quality accessory!
