Pattern Inspiration:

This year, 2016, is the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. Smart Knits - a knitting group out of Logan, Utah - thought that a great way to celebrate the National Park Service and the sublime lands that it protects was to design a National Parks blanket. The blanket is made up of 60 blanket squares - one to celebrate each of the 59 National Parks and one square to celebrate the National Park Service itself.

While it is also home to a rich diversity of plants and animals, the most notable features protected by Mesa Verde are the cities built right into the natural shelter of rock walls, where the Ancestral Pueblo people lived for over 700 years. The park was established in 1906 for the purpose of preserving these important historical sites. An example of these homes is depicted in the design for this square.
