Between the knife edge and inverted position the airplane is still climbing. The only way to continue a controlled climb maintaining a constant radius is to push the airplane the airplane up. As the airplane goes inverted there is a slight pause before beginning to pull the airplane through the bottom half of the maneuver. Most aerobatic books will describe the roll much better than I.
