This design #2 in my new “All American Road Trip” collection of beanies. Follow along as I add a new state about every 4-6 weeks.

The foggy and overcast days that make Seattle one of the least sunny cities in the country also help create the spectacular forests that cover half of the state and has earned it the nickname “The Evergreen State”. Whether the day is bright and sunny or drenched in rain, there’s something about a forest that draws you in and invites you to stay a while. With just four colors, this design embodies the beauty of a fog-covered forest on a dreary day.

Fun fact: Did you know that Washington has had more Sasquatch sightings than any other state? If you’re a believer (even just a little) add a Sasquatch to your forest using scraps of any color of brown yarn and a few simple stitches.
