The Pine Needle Cardigan is a slouchy cardigan with a textured, slipped stitch pattern that resembles pine needles. It’s perfect for chilly afternoons in the woods, visits to the library, or a cup of tea at your kitchen table!

Pine Needle is knit seamlessly from the bottom up. The body is knit flat to the underarm, and after splitting for the arms the back and fronts are worked separately. The live stitches are then seamed together at the shoulder. The sleeves are worked in the round from the shoulder to the cuffs, and the button band is worked last.
