The trip to select and bring home the perfect Christmas tree often marks the beginning of the holiday festivities. Whether tree farm or tree lot, that big tree gets stuffed in the vehicle and secured for the ride home. Driving home, the heady pine aroma fills the car while snowflakes swirl in the street lights.

Knit top-down in the round, Fresh Pine begins with corrugated ribbing then moves to a stranded stockinette body. All motifs are charted. Fit with an after-thought heel, wedge toe and I-cord hanger.
