CONSTRUCTION
The bonnet is worked seamless, in one piece. You´ll start working the back piece, then pick up the sts along the edges to work the side pieces.
Short rows are worked at the front, for a better fit.
The hat is finished with I-cord edges and I-cord ties.
Note: The gauge is important in this project, both the row and the stitch gauge. If you don’t want to make a proper swatch, check the gauge while knitting the back piece of the hat.
