New Jersey Beanie

Despite being the most densely populated and one of the most urbanized of all 50 states, much of New Jersey is covered in forests. This comes as a surprise to most outsiders. With miles and miles of beaches and boardwalks, the shore regions of New Jersey reign supreme in popularity and tourism. Restaurants, water parks, thrill rides, shopping, water activities, historic sites and so much more provide endless entertainment, recreation, and relaxation for locals and tourists alike. But this design focuses on another group of locals…the wildlife of the forests and lakes! Black bears, racoons, and trout make a slightly understated appearance in this playful design featuring wildlife-inspired colors. It’s as if the animals are peering from their world into yours. Using buttons for eyes adds a bit of life to the design. Colors and amounts used as shown: Malabrigo Rios: Black (15 g/ 32 yd./ 29 m) B.
