Pattern #48 in the original U.S. National Park inspired
line of beanies
by Nancy Bates
One of the last great migrations on earth happens twice a year across the vast tundra, sand dunes, and rivers of Kobuk Valley. Every spring and fall, nearly a quarter million caribou make the 600 mile trek between their northern and southern grounds, just as they have for 9000 years – criss-crossing the dunes and swimming across the Kobuk River. With just the right colors and the magic of knitting, you can recreate this amazing scene from the bottom up. A couple dozen caribou will migrate across your hat in the spring and then back the other direction in the fall, swimming in the Kobuk River as they go with the sand dunes looming in the distance.
This pattern continues Nancy Bates’ series of 63 Beanies inspired by the U.S. National Parks. It was first released in the book Knitting the National Parks.
