Pattern details..
While vacationing at our cabin in the Iotla Valley, North Carolina, I looked forward to sitting on our porch and staring off into the mountains, appreciating nature with every stitch. I designed this beanie to reflect the mountains and valleys I enjoyed. The pattern is simple to memorize and suits both men and women. Quick to make, using 1 skein of bulky yarn, this hat is that perfect one-night project for those last minute gifts.
