Pines Cardi is an open cardigan or spring jacket with a very simple tree pattern worked along the bottom. Pines is worked in one piece from the bottom up, separated for the armholes and then using short row sleeve caps the sleeves are picked up and worked down. The only seaming is at the shoulders.
