Pine Cone Vest

The Pine Cone Vest is a layering essential that blends warmth, texture, and timeless style.

Inspired by the charm of Hobbiton mornings and second breakfasts, the Pine Cone Vest brings cozy, effortless comfort. This vest features a subtle knit-and-purl pine cone motif, adding just the right amount of texture without overwhelming your stitches.

Knit from the bottom up, it’s a no-fuss, unisex design with a seamless finish and just enough detail to keep you engaged.

The armholes and neckline are finished with classic 1×1 ribbing, making it a versatile piece for layering over crisp shirts, cozy turtlenecks, or even wearing solo on a brisk autumn walk.

With no waist shaping and minimal shoulder shaping, it’s designed to fit all genders and body types comfortably. Whether you’re curling up with a cup of tea, wandering through the woods, or just looking for that perfect go-to layer, the Pine Cone Vest is ready to be your next favorite knit!

Sarah Dawn has been fascinated by knitting since first learning how to knit at the age of 5 and loving (almost all) of it.

When she’s not knitting, she’s (re)teaching herself to crochet and spin. Beyond yarn, her other vices include tea, video games, and curling up with a good book.

Currently, she lives in the Toronto, Canada area, along with her roommate and two cats. She finds this whole ‘write about yourself in the third person’ thing rather awkward, but it seems to work out alright.
