PATTERN NOTES
This bonnet is knit seamlessly from the top down, starting with a Stockinette tab. Stitches are picked up for the body of the piece around the tab and worked to the desired length. These stitches are then put on hold, and stitches are picked up around the face opening for the edging. After the edging is worked, stitches are cast onto each side for the ties and added to the held stitches at the bottom of the piece.
