Snowy Pines

Enjoy 15% off the pattern with the code COZY now through November 25th!

Forest inspired colorwork worked in colors of green, gray, and white wraps around the shoulders of Snowy Pines. Pine trees stand tall on mountains above tree-covered ridges while snow gently drifts down. The motif includes rounds that require knitting with three colors at once. Options are included for a folded collar (shown) and a single collar. Worked in worsted weight yarn, Snowy Pines will be warm and cozy; Perfect for an adventure in the woods on a chilly day.

Worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, Snowy Pines includes short rows worked in the back below the colorwork for an amazing fit.

Leftover yarn from Snowy Pines can be used to knit the Snowy Hat and Snowy Mittens (patterns available in Woodland Ramble or individually on Ravelry and my website) or the Snowy Shawl. All of these designs share the same inspiration and create a beautifully matched set.
