Pattern #43 in the original U.S. National Park inspired
line of beanies

by Nancy Bates

The largest of all the U.S. national parks, Wrangell-St. Elias is SO massive, you can fit 6 Yellowstones inside its boundaries! Four major mountain ranges meet in the park, creating a landscape of peaks, valleys, rivers, icefields, and glaciers as far as the eye can see…and beyond. As the glaciers carve their way across the landscape, scraping against mountains, they pick up debris and sediment, creating the stripes you see on the surface. From the vantage point of flightseeing planes, glaciers take on the appearance of icy roads winding through mountain ranges. With few roads and few visitors, those seeking wilderness adventures and solitude certainly find it here.

Using only 3 colors of yarn, carefully planned colorwork creates layers and layers of mountain ranges atop a band of glaciers that resemble giant striped ribbons.
