Mini Thread Crocheted Easter Bonnets; Pattern

I almost broke my toe and was basically bed-ridden for a couple days until I could walk on it again so, out of sheer boredom, I started making these.  They're cute and I suppose they would fit a doll (Barbie for the ones made with size 10 thread) of some sort.  They fit eggs too, and since my daughter is too old to play with dolls, I dressed up a few Easter eggs with them.

The purple and blue bonnets are made with size 7 hook and size 10 crochet thread, pattern is below.  They can be used for regular sized eggs or Barbie-sized dolls.

The orange and green bonnets are made with size 7 hook and size 3 crochet thread; they can be used for larger eggs (if you're into dressing your eggs when your toe is busted) I wrote the changes I made using size 3 thread under pattern for size 10 thread.

(For the blue bonnet I strung beads on before I started it and added the beads to the single dc in round 4.)

If you want to use size 3 crochet thread, make the bonnet the same with the following changes:
