Unforgettable! Baby, that’s what you are! That’s what everyone will say when your baby is wearing Charlotte Rose – a delicate drawn thread bonnet.

The artisan stitches taught and executed in this bonnet are: basic hemstitching, outline stitch, lazy daisy stitch, french knots and a glorious field of bullion roses.
