Ngahere Beanie (8ply)

Ngahere is my first pattern and is greatly inspired by the beautiful forest I am fortunate to live within here on Mana Island. Ngahere (na-here-re) is the Maori word for forest and in Māori tradition, people and forests are vitally connected – both were created by the god Tāne. The interweaving leaves represent this connection between people and nature and embodies the “wairua o te ngahere”, the spirit of the forest. The feminine version was inspired by the beautiful small leaved coprosma I found growing amongst the larger trees.
