This pattern is worked form the top down. You'll cast on a small number of stitches, knit flat while increasing at the beginning of each row. Then, you'll cast on some more stitches in the middle of your work and join in the round for the length of the top.

This adjustable, beginner friendly pattern comes with a video tutorial
