An up-close visit to the Great Smoky Mountains reveals a rugged and beautiful landscape of thundering waterfalls, clear streams, lush forests, abundant wildlife, and giant boulders. 
But … when viewed from a distance, this ancient range of tree covered mountains extending to the horizon is a study in subtle texture and gradient hues enveloped in a constant fog that visually softens the landscape. This beanie is worked from the bottom up using a variety of textured stitch patterns separated by narrow bands of stockinette stitch. The slight fuzziness of FAR yarn “visually softens the landscape” of the beanie, reminiscent of the namesake haze of the park.
