First the centre part of the hood is worked, the top of the head, then stitches are picked up and knitted along the sides and the hood is formed by working back and forth cross these stitches; on the last section increases are worked on both sides and then stitches are cast on for under the chin. The rib is worked in the round on a slightly smaller needle, and then increases are worked for the saddle shoulders. After this the front and back are knitted separately. Rib is worked along the opening of the hood at the end.
