The Forest Dweller pattern was designed by Jill Thompson Beach. Our sample was knit in Miss Babs Killington in the Tasman colorway.

Taking inspiration from tree bark, Forest Dweller is designed to have a feel and texture reminiscent of the magical texture the trees around us have. This cropped cardigan has a lichen-inspired center motif running down the back panel, sandwiched between a mirrored, twisted stitch pattern on either side (as well as on the sleeves), which gives the piece a weathered, bark-like effect. The cardigan ends with a fancy rib trim. Forest Dweller is a drop shoulder cardigan and would be a great addition to your wardrobe—it pairs well with a variety of daily activities.

You'll need 2-3 skeins of Killington to complete this project. Choose the original colorway below − or try another color!

The Forest Dweller pattern is available on Ravelry. All patterns are sold separately and not included with the purchase of yarn.
