First the top is worked back and forth. Stitches are then picked up along the top section, and all the stitches are worked back and forth with increases and decreases incorporated to provide shaping. A couple of rounds of ribbing are then worked before binding off with the Italian bind-off technique. The front edge is then worked by picking up stitches and working in ribbing before the edge is folded over and bound off.
