The hood is knitted from the bottom up. First the back part is knitted, then the two front parts. Then all three parts are joined together and knitted to the apex. A flat section is knitted along the apex, the center of the knitted piece being joined together with the two sides. At the end, a leading edge is knitted in the double knitting process along the front parts and around the face opening, and buttonholes are knitted along one side.
