➡️Yardage, Sizing, and Needle info also given for Worsted Weight.

Once I designed the Wee Evergreen pattern, I couldn’t get the idea of knitting a deciduous tree out of my head. And once I had the idea of adding little apples, I just knew it had to come to life.

The use of a few, simple pleat-stitch rounds has a huge impact on creating the leafy canopy.

$1 from the purchase of every Wee Apple Tree pattern goes to support the International Tree Foundation.
