Worked in the round, this hat is a cloche or “box” style with vertical sides and a flat top, featuring a strong horizontal cable that is especially flattering for long oval and rectangular faces.

sweater such a fun knit. The lateral cable increase and decrease
are both explained below, but are also illustrated
