Lace Panels Bonnet test for My Cherry Blossom



Agnes creates some of the most beautiful heirloom quality bonnet patterns that I have ever seen.  I've tested for My Cherry Blossom on several occasions and each time is very exciting.  This go around, I tackled a trio of bonnets and the results left me in awe.  As usual.  

Normally, I would test the newborn sizes. However, I've made a new friend with the most precious baby girl.  I knew her little round face was meant to model these.  Thankfully, mommy and daddy let us have a little photo session/play date.  Meet little missy!  Isn't she a darling?  

Back to the bonnet!  This is the Lace Panel Bonnet. I'm sure it will receive a more elegant/formal name upon pattern release but for now this will do.  I will update once the pattern is live with all new info.  

Out of the three new patterns...this one is my favorite.  This is also why I am writing and featuring it first.  The lace has the most authentic vintage vibe to it.  It has such a wholesome allure to it.  The lace creates sweet scallops that perfectly frame this baby's face.  I mean the results are just angelic!!!  

I am so glad that I tested the 12-24 month size. Why?  I know that I normally do newborns. However, I wanted to showcase the ties.  The way that they are added makes for the most practical and functional bonnet.  There is no chance of them falling off or falling apart! Which has always been a concern of mine with other patterns. 

Berocco Weekend Dk Cotton was the perfect choice for this piece. I love the antique shade of yellow and the way this fiber drapes.  It is light weight and will wear well for a long time to come.  I'm sure this will be a favorite of theirs during the Fall.

The Avonlea Skirt My social media is full of photos of adorable children who are excited for their first day of school! Everyone is dressed to impress!  The little ones are wearing their new shoes and outfits. All are accessorized with big hair bows and even bigger smiles! The Avonlea Skirt was directly inspired by the excitement of this season and my love for all things vintage!  I, of course, had to have something extra special for my own little student!  I wanted her to have a great first day of school too! This pattern is designed to have a bit of a vintage feel.  The DK weight yarn is light weight and knits up quickly!  I hope you enjoy knitting it for your little girl.  Please share the finished results here or on Ravelry!  I would love to see this skirt in action!

The Phyllis Wristlet

This pattern came about fairly spontaneously! My sweet friend, Ashley, had been seeking a certain pattern for arm warmers.  When none were found, I decided to try my hand at writing up a pattern for her.  Thus, this was named after her Aunty, Phyllis. The Phyllis Wristlet is intended to be a simple and quick knit. It is great for new knitters who desire to create a gift worthy project. Knit flat and boasts a beautiful mock cable. I hope you enjoy this as much as we have.  Please share your finished projects with us here or on Ravelry!  Size: One Size Fits All Materials: ⦁ Yarn- Any worsted weight.  I used "I Love This Yarn" in Ivory (100 or so yards) ⦁ Needles- US 8 (5.0 mm) ⦁ Yarn Needle-to sew up the side seam Abbreviations: ⦁ k-knit stitch ⦁ p-purl stitch ⦁ sl- slip stitch (slip purlwise with working yarn in back) ⦁ psso- pass slipped stitch over ⦁ yrn- yarn round needle (do as you would for a yarn over but bring the wo
