Two methods of construction are provided:
Method #1 is “Flat”, which is worked back and forth in rows by alternating working a Right Side and a Wrong Side.
Method #2 is “In the round, joined”, which is worked on a circular needle for a tube shape, with right side always facing.
Hood is worked “flat” in both Method versions.
