This design is available exclusively in my upcoming book. PREORDER “Nordic Textures in Crochet Garments” now - releasing June 20, 2026.

The defining feature of Vēris is its rich, dimensional surface.
The post stitches are strategically placed to mimic the sharp, rhythmic repetition of spruce needles, which results in a fabric that is thick, warm, and architectural. With its ribbed turtleneck and slightly dropped shoulder, the silhouette is modern and structural – a garment designed to ground you, much like the roots of the trees it honors.
