Little girls always look attractive in poke bonnets. Here is a model you can make in a few minutes.

Use a 24-inch square of pastel crepe paper (other paper can also be used) for a child's bonnet. Follow Figs. 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74 and 75 to get the illustration Fig. 126.

To open, hold Fig. 127 with left fingers. Pull carefully outward with right fingers at point B, then insert right fingers inside bonnet and push outward until crown is completely opened at back. When finished it should look like Fig. 128.

Fold on dotted line to make a cuff for the bonnet.

Decorate the finished bonnet with contrasting colored bows and streamers of crepe paper. If paper is cut with the grain it will tie in bows without stretching. It will look even nicer if you decorate the bonnet with real ribbons.
