My friend, Everett, was born to be outdoors.

If he’s not found working as a contactor (Sawtooth Construction, hence the name) he can be found fishing, camping, riding his snowmobile, or anything else to do with the outdoors. On Thanksgiving, while other families gathered around the table for a turkey dinner, Everett, his wife and their kids were in their backyard, roasting hotdogs over a campfire.

This hat was inspired by Everett and all those who love the great outdoors.

Using stranded colourwork and 2-colour twisted stitches, the hat depicts an image of a flowing river, trees and mountains.

I hope you enjoy the pattern.
