When I first saw this stitch pattern, I knew that it had to be a sweater. I needed to have those sweet little leaves around the top of a cardigan and I needed to have it right then. So this pattern came into being. It couples my beloved garter stitch with the charming little leaves around the neck. This is a really quick knit despite (or perhaps because of) all the garter stitch. It’s adorable and it makes me dream of fall, when all the leaves come out to play.
