Utah is design #9 in my All American collection of beanies.

When you have a state that’s famous for the “Mighty 5” (the five beautiful national parks in Utah), it might leave some people wondering “What else is there?” The answer is…plenty! Numerous state parks and landmarks, the famous Bonneville Salt Flats, historical sights and museums, and so much more!
But this design focuses on the simple beauty of the Utah state flower: the Sego Lily. These lovely flowers thrive in dry, sandy soil and pop up in unexpected places, making them a joy to spot in the wild. The bulb served as a food source for Native Americans and early settlers.

Yarn used in sample:

Malabrigo Rios: Ivy (25 g/ 50 yd./ 46 m)
Stunning String Studio Legacy Worsted: Oregon Trail (50 g/ 100 yd./ 92 m)
Aly Bee Workshop Merino Worsted: Sweet Cream (20 g/ 40 yd./ 36 m)
Stunning String Studio Legacy Worsted: Sunkissed (duplicate stitching only) (10 g/ 20 yd./ 18 m)

Approximately 3-5 yards of purple/burgundy yarn for the details on the flowers. I used Boysenberry from Aly Bee Workshop

Or any other worsted weight yarn (#4) in five colors
