Elena is a simple close fitting hat with interesting cables worked partly in moss stitch. The hat is worked seamless on circular needles, the rib starts with stylish tubular cast-on edge (you still can use any other cast-on method). For moss stitch you will need to purl over knit stitch, and knit over purled stitch in every row. This should help to understand schematics.
