Join me for a year of hats inspired by US National Parks. I grew up visiting many of these unique and amazing places with my family as a child. Every summer, my parents would hitch up the camper and we’d be on the road somewhere new. I hope to share this tradition with my own children someday soon as not only are these places a special part of our country’s history, but they show just how amazing our world truly is. In fact, my husband and I have a goal to visit all 62 national parks with our kiddos and we can’t wait to share that experience with them.

The first hat in this collection, Grand Canyon, is a medley of texture and color fading. In my book, this is pretty much the perfect combo!10% of proceeds from all pattern purchases from these designs will go to the National Parks Foundation to help preserve and protect our parks for future generations.

This design uses 2 colors of fingering weight yarn, held together to create a squishy soft fabric. You will need approximately 150 yards of each color.

You can purchase individual patterns in this collection, or purchase the entire National Park Hats Collection for 2020 as a subscription. A new hat design will be delivered to you monthly inspired by a different National Park each month!
