Pattern #13 in the original U.S. National Park inspired line of beanies
by Nancy Bates

The continuous bubbling movement and plop-plop sounds of mud pots are both fascinating and mesmerizing at the same time. This constant geothermal activity creates circular patterns in the mud that shift and move next to and on top of each other as steam escapes up to the surface. In this fun to knit beanie (worked in the round from the bottom up) single stitch cables and textured stitches recreate the uneven circular patterns while the optional double wide ribbing keeps your ears cozy and warm.

The multiple decreases, increases, and travelling cables in this design make it a little more of an advanced (but fun) pattern.
