Inspired by my own childhood dreams of the tallest, fullest Christmas tree surrounded by the biggest, most mysterious presents adorned with shiny bows and richly-patterned wrapping paper, I share with you Under the Bigger Tree.

Knit top-down in the round, Under the Bigger Tree begins with corrugated ribbing then moves to a stranded stockinette body. All motifs are charted. Fit with an after-thought heel, wedge toe and I-cord hanger.

For the fingering weight version, see Under the Big Tree.
