Over the River and Into the Woods: 21 Rustic Knitting Patterns

December 14, 2014 by AllFreeKnitting

There’s something about the winter season that makes me want to trek into the forest, chop down a tree, and live off the land. Every other season I have no desire whatsoever to live like Paul Bunyan, but there’s something about the smell of pine and constantly being cold that makes me want to barricade myself in a tiny log cabin and not come out until spring. I guess that would make me more of a Princess Aurora type, but whatever. Because I don’t know the first thing about fending for myself in the forest (let alone live anywhere close to one), I typically busy myself with the next best thing to log cabin livin’: knitting!

Whether you’re looking for a forest-y pair of fair isle slippers or a rustic knit sweater, today’s knitting pattern round-up is a wonderful mix of woodland whimsy sure to make all of your forest recluse dreams come true.
