Ngahere Beanie (8ply)

Introducing the Ngahere knitting pattern, a unique creation inspired by the breathtaking forest surrounding my home on Mana Island. Ngahere (pronounced na-here-re) is the M?ori word for "forest," and it holds a special significance in M?ori tradition, where the connection between people and forests is deeply revered. According to mythology, both were created by the god T?ne, symbolizing the intricate bond between humanity and nature. This remarkable pattern features interweaving leaves that beautifully represent this connection, embodying the essence of “wairua o te ngahere,” or the spirit of the forest. Additionally, the feminine version of the Ngahere design draws inspiration from the delicate, small-leaved coprosma plants that I discovered thriving amidst the towering trees of our lush landscape.

With this pattern, you can create a stunning piece that not only showcases your knitting skills but also pays homage to the natural world. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting, the Ngahere pattern is an excellent choice for anyone looking to celebrate the beauty and spirit of forests through their craft. Dive into the artistry of knitting and connect with nature as you bring this pattern to life!
