Cut yarn.

With the wrong sides facing, fold in half and sew the ch row together using the tapestry needle.

Drawstring:

Crochet an I-cord until your string measures 25 (30, 35) inches. Here is a linkto great instructions on how to crochet an I-cord.

Weave your drawstring in an out of each space between the first and second DC of each row along the bottom edge of the bonnet.

Pompom: (Optional)

With your favorite faux fur or yarn pompom, attach it to the top corner of the bonnet, with the majority of the pompom resting on top of the corner, rather than the bottom of the corner where you sewed the ch row together up the back of the bonnet. This ensures it won’t flop around too much when worn.
