Maxwell Creek Hat - a knitting pattern

The sounds of flowing water slowly become louder as you make your way down the path before you. The breeze rustles the leaves in the Aspen trees that surround you, knocking just a few free to dance in the wind. Peace surrounds you as sit on the bank of the creek and watch the leaves slowly fall from the trees and land on water only to be swept quickly away on a new adventure.
