I spent most of this summer trying to go camping in the woods of Ontario. Weekend after weekend, some disaster would get in the way. Instead, I worked on this design, inspired equally by the waves of a lake and the bark of tall pines.

The name Pinery comes from a special place on the eastern shores of Lake Huron. Pinery Provincial Park is one of Ontario’s gems, and one of the last remaining places to see not only pines, but Oak Savannas and rolling dunes.

Notes:
This sweater can be worn with either side facing for a unique look. For this reason, provisional cast ons are recommended at the underarms. Not into the reversible look? You can substitute with a regular cast on, such as backwards loop, and have a small seam on the inside of your sweater.

Throughout the pattern, any shaping, as for the raglans or waist edges, is recommended to be completed on an even round. This is to help keep track of what you’re working on; cable twists are only performed on odd numbered rounds. If you prefer it the other way, it’s no problem, just work all shaping on the same rounds.

Sizing:
Because of the nature of the sweater, it can be worn with either 2-4 inches of positive ease for a relaxed fit as shown, or more closely for a sleeker fit. The choice is yours!
