Needles: 3.25 mm and 4 mm straight needles, two 3.25 mm double pointed needles for the ties

Overview: You cast on at the brim of the bonnet and work a short section of 1x1 rib, followed by stocking stitch (stockinette) with an integral garter stitch border at the neck edge. These are both knit flat on straight needles. At the start of the crown shaping you can choose to either continue flat or work in the round from this point. I-cord ties are knit at each side of the brim for the bonnet ties.
