This piece was inspired by a roadtrip up the coast of California, where I was stunned by the sheer scale of the nature on this side of the country. The ridges in each tree were so distinct, so sculptural, that the association with a ribbed knit sweater were immediate.

The sweater is knit in two color jacquard – I used the Branch Jumper pattern by Odd Row for the basic shape. The moss was woven in after the sweater was completed, using a double stitch technique.
