Pattern #50 in the original U.S. National Park inspired
line of beanies

by Nancy Bates

From kite-flying and sandcastle building on the shore of Lake Michigan to hiking and camping in nearby prairies and forests, Indiana Dunes has much to offer families or anyone else looking for outdoor adventures. Even the cold winters bring activities such as skiing and snowshoeing. From Fall foliage to Spring wildflowers, every season brings something new to explore. In the subdued colors of a lazy summer day, this design features wooden boardwalk
fences, grassy dunes, and gentle waves splashing against the shore.

This pattern continues Nancy Bates’ series of 63 Beanies inspired by the U.S. National Parks. It was first released in the book Knitting the National Parks.
