This purchase is for a PDF knitting pattern.

I set out to design the November hat as an homage to a Utah park. There are so many beautiful parks in Utah, that I couldn’t finish off this year without knitting at least one! Truth be told, the Utah parks are some of the only in the western US that I have not yet been to! (I plan to change that VERY soon!) When I saw this particular skein of Malabrigo Washted, I knew it would be perfect. This Piedras color is simply stunning and features many of the same beautiful colors found in the canyons and unique landscapes of Utah. This month’s park is inspired by Bryce Canyon with it’s layered spires of towering rock and gorgeous colors. I hope I did it justice both in yarn selection and slouchy design. I hope you enjoy this fun and surprisingly simple knit!
