Forest Path
The colorwork on Forest Path features stately Pines framed by a branching star. The length of the leg is just perfect for making sure the colorwork shows above your boots on a wintry walk through the snowy forest. The pattern includes 4 sizes. The sizes are created by adding or removing space between the tree and the branched stars. The sample shown is a size M. The larger size has a bit more space between the tree and star. The smaller two sizes have slightly less space between the tree and star. Forest Path is knit from the cuff down with a heel flap and gusset construction.
