Baby's bonnet.
My very best friend is due with her first baby - a little girl - and I wanted to make her something very special and unique. I chose a beautiful pattern for a ruffled baby's bonnet, and I ordered the pattern from a woman in Spain.
And now I share with you all the finished piece.
Three rows in...
Six rows down.
Modeled by a stuffed black sheep (later given to friend as well).
Detail in the crown.
My boys' stuffed dog tries to be a model.
The bear tries on the too-long-in-the-front piece instead.
A close-up.
The actual tatting part completed.
Close-up.
Inserting the ribbon. (This was the absolutely hardest part, as I didn't know how to sew and had to learn basic stuff first!)
With the ruffle firmly tacked in place.
And a side view.
Thanks for looking!
