Description

The bonnet is knitted top-down, starting with a rectangular piece for the top of the head. Stitches are then picked up along the rectangle’s edges, and the bonnet is knitted back and forth until it reaches the neck. The band is knitted separately to the desired length for one tail, then attached to the bonnet. Finally, the other end of the band is knitted to complete the piece.
