The Hornby vest is worked bottom-up. Crocheted in the round for the most part, but separating the front and back to work flat from the underarm up to the neckline. To finish, ribbing is added to the armholes, neckline, with a ribbed split hem at the bottom.

Shoulders are joined together with single crochet stitches.
