✿ The sweetest heirloom bonnet for newborns

A luxury knit heirloom bonnet with easy to follow instructions. Sweet and delicate for newborns and newborn photography, it matches my Tulip Romper (sold separately).

Each side embellishment row is uniquely designed for a delicate look. A row counter and quick stitch count checks at the end of each row keep it on track.
