This brioche-stitch hat celebrates the waning gibbous moon phase. Its special pom-pom resembles that phase of the moon, sitting atop hues of the galaxy provided by a beautiful indie-dyed yarn. The waning gibbous moon, an intermediary phase that follows the full moon, signifies gratitude, and I am always looking for ways to increase my gratitude for the blessings in my life. It is my hope that this knit hat will remind us to heed the moon and be grateful.
