A birthday surprise for Dad. Inspired by the linked pattern, but heavily modified. Different gauge + revised chart to make truck and trailer longer, trees different.

CO 84 sts with smaller needle, worked ribbing, then switched to larger needle and decreased 2 sts. For the fair isle-looking stitch pattern, I held the dark blue in the right hand (colour dominance). I worked the crown as described in Thea Colman’s Blue Monday Set.
