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 1x1 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!
