Join me for a year of hats inspired by US National Parks. I grew up visiting many of these unique and amazing places with my family as a child. Every summer, my parents would hitch up the camper and we’d be on the road somewhere new. I hope to share this tradition with my own children someday soon as not only are these places a special part of our country’s history, but they show just how amazing our world truly is. In fact, my husband and I have a goal to visit all 62 national parks with our kiddos and we can’t wait to share that experience with them.

The third hat in this collection, Redwood, features slipped stitches and a mock cable design that mimics the tall trees that the park is named for. This gorgeous shade of Malabrigo Rios features pops of a gorgeous redwood color amongst the greens.

10% of proceeds from all pattern purchases from these designs will go to the National Parks Foundation to help preserve and protect our parks for future generations.
