	Dot January 3, 2006 12:56 PM PST Hi Fran. Thanks for letting me know it worked out for you.


	Fran January 2, 2006 05:51 PM PST Hi Dot, I made the bonnet using Baby Coordinates doubled as you suggested. I used an I hook and it came out perfect!! Thanks so much for the pattern. I love how the ties are part of the bonnet and not added on later. What a great baby bonnet.


	Dot January 1, 2006 01:00 PM PST Thank you, Happy New Year to you too, Fran.


	Fran January 1, 2006 09:04 AM PST Hi Dot, A healthy and safe New Year to you also. Thanks for the info. You're the best.


	Dot January 1, 2006 02:34 AM PST Hi Fran, Happy New Year. Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I think if you double the Baby Coordinates it would work out pretty good. I'm glad you like my patterns, I enjoy sharing them with everyone.


	Name Fran December 31, 2005 09:37 PM PST I love the bonnet. I just finished a baby sweater it would look great with. However, I used Bernat Baby Coordinates (sport weight) Any suggestions on hook size, do I double the yarn? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Your site is the best. I've made quite a few things from your site and go to it first when I'm looking for ideas. I can't believe all effort you put into the site.
