Pattern Inspiration:

This year, 2016, is the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. Smart Knits - a knitting group out of Logan, Utah - thought that a great way to celebrate the National Park Service and the sublime lands that it protects was to design a National Parks blanket. The blanket is made up of 60 blanket squares - one to celebrate each of the 59 National Parks and one square to celebrate the National Park Service itself.

Biscayne National Park is more water than land; a sliver of coastline and keys off the eastern tip of Florida. Most of the park is only accessible by boat. In addition to turquoise waters and white-sand beaches, the park’s shallow lagoons and jagged reefs provide many opportunities for snorkeling and SCUBA diving. Several lighthouses -- and shipwrecks of the more unlucky sailors -- are available to explore. The lighthouse on Boca Chita Key is iconic of the park.
