WORKFLOW:

You will start by shaping the back of the head. From there, you will pick up new stitches and shape the body simultaneously in a ‘’U-shape’’. After this you will create the ribbed edges that frame the face and the neck. The bonnet is finalised by making two i-cord straps that will be tied under the chin.

Enjoy this pattern and happy knitting!
