2. Sleeve stitches are placed on double pointed needles and worked in rounds to cuff.
3. Stitches are picked up around the neck edge and hood is worked back and forth in rows from the neck upwards.
4. Ears are worked separately, back and forth in rows, and sewn to hood.
5. Circular needle is used to accommodate stitches and for ease when working along curves. Work back and forth in rows on circular needle as if working with straight needles.
