This design is the 4th in my All American series of beanies.

It’s almost impossible to think about Colorado without thinking about mountains. The famous Rocky Mountain Range (running nearly down the center) creates some of the state’s most famous and wondrous features, including more than 50 peaks above 14,000 feet. With opportunities for endless year-round outdoor adventures, spectacular scenic drives, several historic railroads, four national parks, and big cities and small towns galore, Colorado attracts tourists and adventurers from around the country and around the world.

Inspired by the flora and fauna of the Rocky Mountains, this design features elk, evergreen trees, and groves of aspen with snow topped mountain peaks in the distance.

Colors used in sample: Malabrigo Rios in Sandstorm and Natural. About 50 grams each.
