This pattern continues Nancy Bates’ series of 63 Beanies inspired by the U.S. National Parks. It was first released in the book Knitting the National Parks.

Of the 700+ lakes found within the forests and mountains of Glacier National Park, the colorful stones lining the shore of beautiful Lake McDonald make it one of the most photographed. This beanie uses subdued colors and smooth stitches to capture the serenity of the scene from colorful pebbles on the shore and in shallow water, to the deeper blue of the lake, mountain reflection, mountains, and sky…resulting in an overall sense of tranquility.
