SITKAGRENIKids sweater knitting pattern

Sitkagreni is my favorite type of evergreen, so I wanted to design a Christmas sweater featuring it in the pattern. I aimed for a classic design that could be worn all year round. The Sitka Spruce sweater has already been available in adult sizes — and is now finally offered for children as well!
