The Pine Cardigan has a slightly oversized fit and can be made with or without buttons. The modern granny stitch used in the main body creates a beautiful cut out pattern that makes the cardigan feel loose and airy; it’s cosy without being bulky or heavy. The little stacked triangle design the stitch pattern creates reminds me of a Scotch Pine forest and the colour I used for my first cardigan was Pine Green so there we have the name!

This pattern comes in 6 sizes; X-Small, Small, Medium/Large,
X/2X-Large, 3X/4X-Large, and 5X-Large.
