Materials
• 470 (590, 670, 770, 880, 990, 1090) metres / 515 (650, 730, 840, 960, 1090, 1190) yards of fingering or sport weight yarn that gives you the correct gauge. Shown in Drops Baby Merino (100% merino wool, 175 m/ 191 yds per 50g, col. Vibrant Green);
• 3.5 mm and 3.25 mm (US #4 and #3) circular needles, 60-80 cm / 24-32 in long, depending on sweater size;
• 3.5 mm and 3.25 mm (US #4 and #3) needles in your preferred style for knitting small circumferences in the round;
• If you use craft pom poms: 30-50 small craft pom poms (11-15 mm in diameter), sewing thread in the same colour as your yarn, and sewing needle.
• If you knit bobbles: colourful fingering or sport yarn, approx. 0.9 metres / 1 yard of yarn for each bobble.
Tree motif: You can work the tree motif knitting bobbles using leftover pieces of colourful yarns or white mohair/alpaca for fluffy snowflake effect. Alternatively, you can knit the tree motif without bobbles, and sew on small craft pom poms at the end. I used the latter method.
The pattern incudes charts which show the placement of bobbles.
