Gratitude
A little different twist on a classic! Gratitude is a gorgeous rib hat with a more rounded crown shaping.
It is knit from the bottom up, in the round and seamlessly. The crown shaping is done using the Magic Loop.
I used two beautiful yarns held together for my sample for an exquisite gem! But Gratitude can definitely be knit using just one strand of Sport or light DK yarn.
