Winter Grove is a collection of winter trees that are a perfect decoration for the winter season. Make a small one and attach a loop and use it as a hanging decoration; or make a large one as a table decoration. Or even several to create your own grove. The large striped tree uses the helical knitting method. Originally,
designed for A Good Yarn’s Colourwork Club.
