This Bonnet is named after my sweet diabetic cat, Mila (pictured), who has gone through a year of health complications and a series of underlying conditions. All proceeds from this pattern will go to her medical expenses. Dealing with the stress of Mila's health has led us to a lot of emotional and financial strain, but it also encouraged me to crochet more to unwind from all that we'd be dealing with. Crocheting is always our favorite time to snuggle on the couch and keep each other company while watching movies. I knew I always wanted to name a pattern after my kitty, and it seemed an imperfectly perfect time as any, to experiment and design a new pattern that could then in turn serve as a fundraiser for us.

I really appreciate all support, and just hope you enjoy this adorable pattern I've worked so hard on!
