I don’t design projects in stranded knitting very often, but I couldn’t resist this pattern, inspired by the trails made by woodborers.
All the sections in stranded knitting are worked in the round, and I have created contrast color “seams” to make it easier to keep track
of the pattern. I recommend using the Magic Loop method for the sleeves and collar.
Previously published in my book The Out of the Woods Collection.
