Crater Lake - National Park Blanket Square
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.
Crater Lake was formed when a volcano collapsed on itself nearly 8,000 years ago. It’s the deepest lake in the United States and is surrounded by tall cliffs, making it even more striking. Wizard Island is a cinder cone that rises out of the remains of the now-dormant volcano. The park is also home to over 170,000 acres of old-growth forest. This design, worked first in-the-round, depicts a birds-eye view of the lake, including Wizard Island and the surrounding forest.
