I visited Yellowstone National Park when I was 11 years old with my family on a long road trip from our home in Oregon to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. My memories of that trip are a little fuzzy, but I definitely remember seeing Old Faithful spew hot water into the air and I remember there were bears in our campground at night. Yellowstone is a beautiful park and I can’t wait to return one day soon with my own kids.!
What I know for sure is that I wanted my design for Yellowstone to be a classic stocking cap -- warm and cozy but simple to knit. I wanted it to be rustic but just as at home on a hike, on the ski run, around a campfire, or in town. I designed the color as an homage to the landmark geyser “Old Faithful” and this hat emulates just that sentiment. It’s bound to become your go-to, old faithful hat design you knit as gift or keep on hand for those cold winter days.
I wrote this pattern to work for just about any size head, so make one for you and then make another for the park-lover in your life! Adjust the brim to your preference - tips on various brim lengths/styles are in the pattern!
