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.

With your right needle and the right side of the bonnet facing you, pick up the right side edge of the first slipped stitch of the bonnet. Pick up the stitch by inserting your needle from top to bottom. Knit the last two sts together as if working a ssk.

Continue attaching the I-cord in this manner along the entire bottom edge of the bonnet. When you have finished attaching the I-cord along the entire bottom edge, work the I-cord for approximately 30 rows, or until it measures 7 inches.
