Pattern #42 in the original U.S. National Park inspired
line of beanies

by Nancy Bates

65 million years of incredible geologic forces and the power of erosion have sculpted a landscape in Utah that seems impossible. Over 2000 stone arches spanning distances up to 300 feet stand among pillars, fins, pinnacles, and balancing rocks. The contrast of bright green trees and shrubs against red orange rock and blue skies have entranced hikers and campers for generations, bringing a feeling of awe and wonder not easily forgotten.

Featuring a color as warm as the sunsets that grace the landscape, this beanie uses cable stitches to create a double arch embossed against a subtly textured backdrop of rows of knits and purls. Blue sky peeks through arches in the distance.
