Hello! This week for White Wednesday I am sharing a beautiful hand-crocheted antique baby bonnet. I was lucky to find this at a yard sale several years ago. It is a very soft cotton thread. The original ribbons were tattered, so I put in new ones. Here's the beautiful back:
It fits a baby from about 2-4 months old. When I see a beautiful antique, I wonder about the original owner. How did she have time to stitch this with all the other chores required of Victorian women? How many babies wore this sweet little cap? I wish I could find a vintage pattern for a similar bonnet and try it myself!

Hi Elizabeth Rose,
It's adorable! And the blue satin ribbon really adds a wonderful touch.

Thank you, Friends! Lynette, I was looking at your blog this morning, after seeing your link at White Wednesday! Your gown is beautiful. I'll be sharing mine after Davy's baptism in the Fall.
