The shortleaf pine is a species native to the eastern US. These trees abound in the Charlotte area, and especially in the area where this collection was photographed, so the name seemed
a perfect fit for this sweater and its botanic-looking stitch patterns. The patterning along the upper body of this sweater looks just like a cluster of pine trees perched alongside a
mountain range.

This sweater is knit flat in pieces in DK weight Papyrus, a luxurious and soft blend of silk and cotton.
