Jennifer Steingass’s Arboreal is a beautiful design that brings a natural leaf motif to a yoke of stranded colorwork. This seamless sweater is worked from the top down in the round with an easy-to-follow chart. The pattern contains optional gentle waist shaping if you prefer a feminine fit, or leave out the shaping for a boxier, gender-neutral sweater. We’ve kitted up this sweater in Juniper Moon’s Patagonia Organic Merino (100% Organic Merino), a heathery 2-ply delight of a yarn that is both bouncy and soft.
