This pattern was originally designed for the 2021 Rose City Yarn Crawl.
“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” -- Meister Eckhart
When times get rough, remembering who and what you’re thankful for can be very helpful. As you knit the Xs and Os on the hat band, I hope you’ll think of the people and things in your life that bring you joy. You are on my list.
