Pattern #38 in the original U.S. National Park inspired
line of beanies
by Nancy Bates

Great Basin is a diverse land from desert and forests to tall peaks to streams that flow inward and never reach the ocean. Visitors can hike to a glacier, stargaze, take a scenic drive, look for pictographs, fish in a creek, see over 800 different plants, and even explore a cave. But one of the most memorable and awe-inspiring experiences is a quiet walk among the oldest trees in the world: the Ancient Bristlecone Pines. These gnarled, twisted, and wind-polished tress can live to be almost 5,000 years old! Amazing! Using colors that evoke a feeling of solitude at twilight, this beanie combines two of the park’s most famous features…Bristlecone Pines and incredibly dark skies.

Add stars to your sky-scape using silver or sparkly beads that are knitted in or sewn on afterwards.
