Pattern #30 in the original U.S. National Park inspired line of beanies
by Nancy Bates

The famous Towpath Trail running alongside the Cuyahoga River (the heart of this park in Ohio) was once used by mules, oxen, and horses as they towed boats up the river through the historic Ohio and Erie canals using ropes. Today, it includes nearly 20 miles (within park boundaries) of mostly flat trails for hikers and bicyclists. It extends for many more miles outside of the park. It’s lovely at any time of year, but especially beautiful in Autumn as the leaves turn to shades of gold and orange throughout the park. This beanie (knit in the round from the bottom up) features mini bobbles to add subtle texture to the foliage of the trees, while the splashes of color in Forest Path depict the fallen leaves on both sides of the river.
