Fold over and sew up the back seam – whip stitch works well.
Sew in loose ends.
Attach ties to the bonnet, for example braids, ribbons or twisted cord.
Below is a photo of how I make bonnet ties. I cut 6 stands of yarn, 1 metre each, and thread them straight through the fabric of the bonnet at the front edges. Then separate into 3 lots of 2 strands, and braid. Knot when done and trim to finish. Make two matching ties at the length of your choice.
