Can you spot them? Mosaic motifs along the lower body and sleeves of this sweater appear as sweetgum trees. The remainder of the piece is worked in simple alternating rows of double and single crochet, creating slight striped interest. The joyful contrasting color appears again at the neck edging to balance the piece.
