Innfluenced by nature’s timeless Pine Tree, the Southern Pines Sweater is a round yoke, top-down design which uses post stitches to create a circle of branches expanding outwards, as if reaching for the light.

The pattern was inspired by my earlier poncho design: The falling pines poncho. If you’re not confident in making sweaters, you may want to try the poncho first! You can find it here:

The pattern is written in US terms (with UK equivalents given in the abbreviation list) for sizes XS - 3X and includes a schematic and some photo prompts to assist with construction.
