Knitting the National Parks by Nancy Bates
Please note: this is a pre-order for copies of the book on their way to us from the publisher as of Monday, January 30.
From the brightly colored pebbles of Lake McDonald in Montana’s Glacier National Park to the regal granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome in California’s Yosemite Valley, the US National Parks contain some of the most recognizable and iconic natural landmarks in the world. Capture the majesty each of the 63 national park offers with original beanie patterns created by knitting designer and outdoor enthusiast Nancy Bates, all collected in Knitting the National Parks.
Beanies range from simple beanie constructions to more challenging stitch patterns such as the two-color crossovers inspired by South Dakota’s Badlands or the multiple cable designs inspired by New Mexico’s Carlsbad Caverns. Clear charts, easy-to-read keys, and thorough instructions help any knitter, whether beginner or experienced, through these gratifying projects.
