Hiking beanie

I got a request from [Hudsy][1] for a hiking beanie some time ago.
And this is what you may get when you ask me for a pattern ;-)

It has a multicolor ribbing (but at most two colors in one round!), reflecting the water colors of the little lake/river surrounded by reed following as first band pattern.
Two ducks in love are swimming in it.

But as Hudsy asked me for squirrels, you can also instead of the ducks knit a little squirrel border pattern :)
If you like squirrels just take a look at her version.

Then follow the pair of hikers, a woman/gir and a man/boy. She has a pony tail and a hiking stick. Both have bag packs :)

Next is either a band of trees or the ducks band if you have decided to use the squirrels. So you have some design possibilties yourself and can combine the bands you like best :)
In the background a little village with small houses and a church can be seen, forest in the background and a mountain with a mountain cross on top of it!
