Everglades Beanie

**Pattern #5 in the original U.S. National Park Inspired line of beanies by Nancy Bates** The tangled stilt-like root system of the mangrove forests growing at the water’s edge is one of the most recognizable features of the Everglades. The nearly still water surface creates a mirrored image of sky, clouds, and trees with only the dark soil line to separate reality from reflection. Whether it is worked in the traditional colors of the mangrove forests or something else entirely, the mirror image design of this beanie creates a fun and unusual take on fair isle knitting. This pattern calls for 5 colors of yarn, but you will not use the entire skein of any one color. Pattern is available for personal use only and may not be copied or resold.
