Hello Friends! Welcome to Bo Peep’s Bonnets - A hand knit hat and cowl company in the heart of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania!
Bo Peep’s Bonnets was born out of desire to help cancer patients feel and look their best as they go through chemotherapy. When my mother started chemo treatments for ovarian cancer in the early fall of 2012, I found myself scouring the web trying to find fashionable and comfortable knit hats to keep her warm. There were lots of great places to get fabric head wraps, but I couldn’t find any companies that provided winter hats for free. That’s when it dawned on me to take my love of knitting to the next level! I would sell my hats on Etsy and at a local boutique and use the profits to buy the supplies for the chemo hats. And Viola! Bo Peep’s Bonnets was born!
I’ve expanded my style and company as the years have gone by and now you can find everything from hipster beehive hats, to chunky coconut button cowls, felt flower hats for kids, hand knit bow ties for men, easy to follow knitting patterns, mom and daughter matching hat sets, and so much more.
I’m always listing new products and patterns so check back often to see what’s new!
Thanks to your purchases, I can keep my business and my charity running.
Blessings and good health to you all! Thanks again for shopping!
Love,
Danielle
I got my free bonnet! It is so soft and pretty. It warms my heart to know a stranger cares enough to make this bonnet for me! Cancer is such a downer, it is so good to have an upper!! This will really help to keep my bald head warm this winter in Pa. Thank you members of Bo Peep Bonnets!!
