Pine and Fir Collection Discount: get the Pine and Fir Hat pattern for half price when you also buy the sweater pattern! The discount is automatically applied at checkout and works retrospectively as well. Enjoy!

The Pine and Fir Sweater is knitted top-down seamlessly with beautiful pine and fir inspired cable patterns on the yoke and optionally, on the cuff. There are bobbles on the lower part of the yoke that signify little pinecones. The only funny part about this project is that the trees will grow backwards on your needles! The back shaping is done with a few flat rows after the yoke, which is much easier than short-row methods and the effect is just as great.

The stitch pattern is provided in charts as well as in written instructions.

松柏毛衣从领口开始向下编织，精致的花型图按仿佛生长中的松树柏树，贯穿整个育克部分。在松树花型的底部，我还加入了枣形针来模仿一颗颗的小松果。编织这件作品最有趣的一点就是：树木是从上往下反向地在你的棒针上生长出来！

织片密度
18 针 × 26 行 = 10 cm方块，用4.5 mm棒针下针编织

线材
2股回归线 悸动（100%羊毛；50 g = 350 m）+1股回归线 慕颜（55% 幼马海毛，15% 美利奴，30% 尼龙；20 g = 260 m），共三股线合股编织，以达到中粗线的粗细。用量如下：

• 回归线 悸动 （葱绿）: 6 (6, 7, 7, 8) (9, 11, 12, 13) 团，
• 回归线 慕颜 （葱绿）: 4 (4, 5, 5, 6) (6, 7, 8, 9) 团。

也可以使用其它粗细相似的毛线或毛线组合来替代。

单股中粗线所需要的长度约为：950 (1000, 1100, 1190, 1380) (1570, 1810, 2030, 2140) m

类似线材推荐：

其他工具
可拆卸记号圈、2根麻花针、毛线针、多余的毛线（用于袖子的休针）

难度
四颗星，适合较有经验的中上级水平者。图解中使用了技巧包括：在有文字说明辅助的情况下使用大型花型图解、高级交叉针、枣形针、挑针等。
