The Pine and Fir Sweater is knitted top-down seamlessly with beautiful pine and fir inspired cable patterns on the yoke and optionally, on the cuff. There are bobbles on the lower part of the yoke that signify little pinecones. The only funny part about this project is that the trees will grow backwards on your needles! The back shaping is done with a few flat rows after the yoke, which is much easier than short-row methods and the effect is just as great.

The stitch pattern is provided in charts as well as in written instructions.

松柏毛衣从领口开始向下编织,精致的花型图按仿佛生长中的松树柏树,贯穿整个育克部分。在松树花型的底部,我还加入了枣形针来模仿一颗颗的小松果。编织这件作品最有趣的一点就是:树木是从上往下反向地在你的棒针上生长出来!
