The bonnet is worked back and forth: you begin at the band, which you can make either in moss stitch or ribbed, and continue in stockinette stitch to the bear ears. The bear ears are shaped at the same time as you work to the crown. You then place the bear ear stitches on hold, and shape the back of the bonnet to the neck, by working short rows and decreases. The bonnet has an I-cord edge and I-cord strings to tie it up.
