The flat hats of the National Park Service are one of the agency’s most recognizable elements. There are several different uniform hats that rangers can wear, depending on the season and the type of work they’re doing. But what’s a ranger to wear when they’re off duty?

Enter the Nightcap: a textured beanie knit in a dk weight yarn, with four prominent decreases styled after the four dimples of the flat hat. The Nightcap is a quick knit, perfect for gifts, cold nights in the mountains, day trips to town, and those wait-five-minutes days when the weather changes fast!
