| Years ago, I made several bonnets from a magazine and had always wanted to come up with my own design for the bonnet and for the filet crochet part. Included with this pattern are six different filet charts that you can choose from. Also included are blank templates so you can design your own filet charts.
Two sizes are provided, for newborn to three months and three to six months. It is possible to make a larger size by using a larger thread, like size 8 or 5, and a larger hook but you’ll need to use a bit of trial and error to get the correct sizing.Named for my second cousin, Izabella Dorothy. |
