Glistening snowflakes on a field of diamonds makes Northern Glow a hat that’s both fun to knit and to wear. Knit in the round from the brim to the crown, the hat begins with corrugated ribbing, continues with a small, fine motif which then becomes a larger snowflake motif before returning to the fine motif again.
