This adorable white Ulster linen infant or 6 mos. size bonnet teaches you the basics of hemstitching. The bonnet contains delicate blue embroidery with granito flowers and a sampling of hemstitched bars. The front brim is hemstitched along the fold and adorned with ribbon rosette ties.

Stitches and techniques mastered during class: how to make ribbon rosettes, preparing fabric for hemstitching, basic hemstitching, hemstitching along the fold, ladder hemstitched bars, stem stitch and granito flowers.

This bonnet compliments my Beginner Margie Daygown.
