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.
The image of a giant saguaro cactus silhouetted against a desert sunset is synonymous with the American west…and rightly so. These giant plants with arms that seem to be reaching for the sky are pictured in nearly every TV show or movie about the old west. This beanie (worked in the round from the bottom up) captures that spirit with dark saguaro shapes against a gradient yarn dyed in the colors of the desert sky.

Yarn weight worsted
Gauge 9.5 stitches = 2 inches in stockinette
