...An Heirloom Baptismal Bonnet...

...Y'all have seen The Airman's Baptismal Gown before ...I have it for now...but I'm going to give it to The Airman for his baby... ...the pattern has three sections...this top section is called the lace stripe... ...a diamond pane pattern in the center... ...and the beaded fan section at the bottom... ...the back is a lttle more plain...just because it was completed after The Airman was born...and I was in a rush...and I didn't think anyone would really see the back anyway... ...so the bodice is just plain stockinette...it does have a pretty button detail though... ...and I did complete the fan pattern at the bottom because it would be visible and needed to have the same beaded peaks as you can see it even when you're holding the babe on his back...

...anywhoo...I think I mentioned before that I had found the pattern still in the stash...and you can see that sweet babe is wearing a bonnet...which I never made for The Airman...

...but I thought it would be sweet for The Airman's Baby to have a bonnet...so I got out some cotton and beads...

...and knit a sweet little bonnet...it only has the fan pattern and the lace stripe...no diamond pane on the bonnet...

...it was a quick and easy little project...

...and turned out super sweet...

...and The Airman's Baby will have a gown and bonnet...

~Have a lovely day!
