Dr. M. Morel lives in the Mistyvale Mountains in a charming village cut into a cliff-face. Always ending a walk with an uphill isn’t great, but the views are extraordinary! She enjoys crosswords and rug hooking in her spare time.

Wandering ribs created with left twist and right twist stitches make the cap special yet simple. Dr. M. Morel is knit from the bottom up.
