This is the first design in my new “All American Road Trip” collection of beanies. Follow along as I add a new state about every 4-6 weeks.

This design was inspired by one of the most famous features of Kansas…wheat fields! Just as the right soil and temperature combine to make Kansas one of the top wheat producers in the country, warm colors and a wheat-inspired stitch combine to create a design that captures the essence of wheat farming in Kansas. As John Denver once sang: “Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field and blue is just a Kansas summer sky”.
