Baby's bonnet.

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

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.

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!
