Maryland is design #5 in my All American Road Trip collection of beanies

A summer spent in Maryland means a summer spent relaxing on beaches, visiting historic sites, strolling along boardwalks, camping and hiking, sailing, exploring spectacular museums, and most likely indulging in something tasty seasoned with Old Bay. With a summer visit, one delightful activity is almost certain: at least one sighting of the state bird and state flower! In the bright colors of summer itself, this design features a patch of wild Black-eyed Susans followed by a band of duplicate stitched Orioles nestled between more flowers.
