Saguaro Beanie
Custom dyed gradient yarn kit available at nancybatesdesigns.com
Pattern #16 in the original U.S. National Park inspired line of beanies
by Nancy Bates
The image of a giant saguaro cactus silhouetted against a desert sunset is synonymous with the American west…and rightly so. These giant plants with arms that seem to be reaching for the sky are pictured in nearly every TV show or movie about the old west. This beanie (worked in the round from the bottom up) captures that spirit with dark saguaro shapes against a gradient yarn dyed in the colors of the desert sky.
Note: The sunset colors are achieved with the use of a gradient yarn.
The design can also be made in “daytime” colors with green cactus shapes and a blue daytime sky.
Complete kits for “daytime” version available at www.nancybatesdesigns.com
Pattern is available for personal use only and may not be resold.
