Today, Tawas is a little tourist town on the sunrise coast of Michigan in Saginaw Bay, but years ago, it was a logging town.The bay made a perfect place to build a lumber mill and to make use of the natural resources in the area.Nearby, you’lleven find Lumberman’s Monument—a testimony to the lumber industry’s influence in the local community.

The stitch pattern in this hat reminds meof falling logs, and I can imagine the spring runs with the nearby Rifle River filled with the timber being moved totoward the mill and Lake Huron for shipping.Knitters will find this an easy toremember stitch pattern making it perfect for social knitting.The yarn overs help break up color pooling in hand painted yarns, and itis written for four different weights of yarn.Perfect for stash busting!
