Zion is a bucket-list National park for me as I haven’t been yet. It’s one that I’ve wanted to visit ever since I saw pictures of the gorgeous slot canyons! We are hoping to do a tour of multiple Utah parks this year, so fingers crossed we make it there!

This month’s color is inspired by the famous Zion Narrows. The gorgeous hike into a slot canyon along the Virgin River known as the Narrows features gorgeous layered colors in the canyon walls. Just google it and you’ll see how this color came to be. The design is a fun slipped stitch pattern that creates a thick ribbed hat that hugs your head nicely.

Written for three sizes (Size Large is shown), you can easily make this hat for anyone in the family! Happy knitting!
