Spindle-Tree is a charted design element which can be used in conjuction with pattern instructions from Bohus Stickning på nytt The Revival. Charts have been published for a circular yoked pullover. It was designed by Kerstin Olsson for Bohus Stickning some time in 1963. A photo of the original pattern card was published by the Bohuslan Museum in their digital collection in late 2024.

This design is referenced in Bohus Stickning på nytt The Revival on p. 146 as design 1150 from 1963. The pattern reference in the book and on the pattern card describe the pattern as being made from the Bohus Stickning angora merino yarn. A photo of an original pattern card, which includes details of shaping to create a gamla yoke is available in the Bohuslan Museum’s digital collection, linked below.
