the big city bonnet is a reinterpretation of a classic winter staple for the modern city girl:p it is created top-down holding two strands of yarn together to make a warm fuzzy fluffy hat. make it with mohair, wool, acrylic (SO many yarns meet gauge here!). hold two strands of the same color together, or pick a cool contrasting color scheme. make your bow a thick statement, or leave it small and sweet. the opportunities are endless:)
