Construction: This pattern is worked flat, knitting bottom up and shaping the crown with decreases. The ribbed edges of the bonnet are worked from picked up stitches that are knit in a 2x2 rib with an I-cord bind off. The bottom rib incorporates eyelets which are used to weave in the i-cord ribbon. The ribbon motif is added at the end using a duplicate stitch.
