Pattern Inspiration:

This year, 2016, is the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. Smart Knits - a knitting group out of Logan, Utah - thought that a great way to celebrate the National Park Service and the sublime lands that it protects was to design a National Parks blanket. The blanket is made up of 60 blanket squares - one to celebrate each of the 59 National Parks and one square to celebrate the National Park Service itself.

Sequoia National Park was founded in 1890 in the southern Sierra Nevada range in California. Known as the land of giants, this park houses some of the world’s largest trees, the giant sequoias. In the Giant Forest, lives a tree named General Sherman, the largest known living single stem tree on the planet by volume, depicted in this square. While the trees garner the most fame for the park, the wilderness of the park contains immensely beautiful high-alpine wonders. Sitting on the Great Western Divide, there are granitic mountains and canyons, marbles caves, and lots of wildlife.
