CONIFER YARN KITS USING OUR FABULOUS HAND-DYED EXCELANA NORTH DK WEIGHT, 100% BRITISH WOOL ARE NOW AVAILABLE. Please note, this kit does not include the Conifer pattern. The pattern is only available by purchasing
A Stitch In Time Volume 3 - The Colourwork Edition.
Conifer features a graphic, stylized fir tree motif within a bold, two-colour stripe pattern with the colours reversed on each repeat. This updated version of the pattern includes both a 'vintage' fit option featuring a nipped-in welt and increase rounds in the lower body, and also a straight fit option which begins with a shorter welt and is followed by an unshaped lower body. Both options allow for three lower body lengths and a choice of three sleeve lengths. All lower body lengths end at the same point in the pattern and can be paired with any of the three sleeve lengths. Conifer is knitted completely in the round, with steeks added to the armholes and sleeve heads. Once knitting has been completed the steeks are cut open and the sleeves inserted as if knitted flat. The sleeves are lightly gathered at the top of the sleeve head.
Conifer is knitted using Susan Crawford Excelana North Lightweight DK and is shown here in the strikingly festive combination of Cherry and Limestone, but would look equally fabulous in lots of other combinations, such as Atonement and Snowdrop, or maybe the classic navy and cream combination of Bellflower and Alabaster.
Choose from one of the colourways shown or alternatively choose the 'custom' option to select a shade of your choice from the beautiful range of colours in Excelana North DK.
After choosing your colourway, select which of the six kit sizes you require. Each kit provides yarn to knit a range of pattern sizes and lengths as follows:
