Badlands Beanie

**Pattern #29 in the original U.S. National Park inspired line of beanies** by Nancy Bates The Badlands are a perfect example of the rugged beauty that millions of years of geologic activity along with the effects of rain and wind can create. The colorful and fossil rich layers and weathered formations reveal the history of a land transformed from inland seas and waterways to what we see today. This beanie (worked in the round from the bottom up) uses stranded colorwork and crossover stitches to represent both the layers and the distinct pointed formations. The Badlands colorway was inspired by the dust swirling up into the blue sky.
