Sugglepot and Cuddlepie are a part of every Australian childhood. Their miniature adventures could happen in any of the patches of bush which surround us, weaving magic in our own backyards. Their little hats are made from a eucalyptus blossom cap and are shaped so much like this bonnet.

This simple, unisex garter stitch bonnet with an i-cord edge and ties will become a staple for your little cuddlepies. Its classic design will pair with any outfit, sure to be on constant rotation in the colder months.
