Wisconsin has a long history in the lumber
and beer industries. With nearly half of the state covered in forests, lumber has been an important part of the economy since the 1890s. And the beer? From legendary labels to homegrown craft breweries, Milwaukee in particular, is world-renowned for producing amazing beer. But…it’s the dairy industry that reigns supreme in Wisconsin. Whether it’s butter, cheese, ice cream, or milk, Wisconsin-made dairy products have been earning blue ribbons, gold medals, and distinguished awards year after year for decades. Even the residents of Wisconsin proudly embrace their dairy heritage by often wearing cheese shaped hats at sports events and beyond.

Celebrate dairy products with a green pasture, a cow print band, and a fun “cheese-inspired” pattern, topped off with simple knit stitches in the color of milk.
