➡️Yardage, Sizing, and Needle info given for Worsted Weight and Fingering Weight.


Once I designed the Wee Evergreen pattern, I couldn’t get the idea of knitting a deciduous tree out of my head. And once I had the idea of adding little apples, I just knew it had to come to life. 


The use of a few, simple pleat-stitch rounds has a huge impact on creating the leafy canopy. Knit in the round from the bottom up, with apples sewn on after it is stuffed and closed.

$1 from the purchase of every Wee Apple Trees pattern goes to support the International Tree Foundation.
