The Bonnet is worked in the round, starting with a magic ring for the first few rounds, then is worked flat for the remainder of the Bonnet. The ribbing is attached at the end working back and forth between rows, then the ties are added once the ribbing is complete.

The teething ring/toy is worked flat, stitching the ears on as you go. There is very little sewing needed.
