The Belgian Waffles Watch Cap integrates all-over cables with a very fast and attractive transition into and through the crown decreases. 6 sizes cover the range from Premie to Adult Large, and there is good overlap in the sizes because of the stretchiness of the thickly cabled fabric.

The instructions are both fully written out in abbreviated format and fully charted. The 6-page pattern is formatted to facilitate printing only the pages of instructions that the knitter needs for either the written abbreviated or fully charted directions.
