- One removable stitch marker

Make sure to check your gauge for perfect results: 16 stitches by 22 rows should give you a 4 inch by 4 inch swatch. With its intricate designs and cozy fit, the Fanchon Bonnet is not just a knitting project; it’s a delightful way to bring a piece of history into your wardrobe. Embrace your creativity with our Fanchon Bonnet patterns and enjoy the process of creating a timeless piece that showcases your knitting skills!
