Knit with Aabhar – Fir Cone Stitch Pattern

Pattern Description


Fir Cone Stitch is another traditional Shetland knitting pattern that combines delicate lace work with a little bit of texture in the form of repeating offset ‘fir cone’ motifs. It creates a natural wavy edge at the bottom, making it a perfect choice for cardigans and tops.

It is a gorgeous stitch, very detailed, and interesting. Once you start knitting a few rows, you will get the hang of it, and the end result will be a beautiful knitted fabric. There are basically repeats of the same set of instructions in multiple rows, so memorizing it will be easy, making it fun to knit. Unlike most other knitting patterns, it starts with a purl row, meaning it is knit in reverse. The reverse side is the front side of the pattern. It also uses double decreases instead of single decreases, which is common in other lace knitting patterns.

Fir Cone knitting pattern will work in multiple types of projects, including wraps, scarves, hats, and other home decor projects.
