Pattern #59 in the original U.S. National Park inspired
line of beanies
by Nancy Bates
Jagged snow covered mountain peaks, high meadows and wildflowers, forested valleys, and over 300 glaciers have earned this park the nickname American Alps. It’s the only place like it in the U.S. outside of Alaska. Melting snow and rainfall feed the hundreds of lakes, rivers, streams, and flowing cascades (the park’s namesake) while runoff from glaciers deposit a type of silt that gives the lakes of North Cascades their charactestic milky turquoise color. In this design, simple stranded colorwork takes you from the meadows, to the tress, to the cerulean lakes and up to the melting glaciers and snow fields that feed them.
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.
