In the delightful season of spring, little farms across the beautiful state of Maine celebrate "Maple Sugar Days"—an enchanting open farm event where families gather to discover the art of Maple Syrup production. This exquisite knitting pattern, inspired by the renowned Symonds family, who craft their own Maple Syrup at home, embodies the spirit of this joyful tradition. The design features crisp ribbing that transitions into a delicate Anglaise stitch, beautifully echoing the budding of maple tree branches as they flourish in springtime.

Expertly showcased on location by the talented Emily Symonds, this pattern not only captures the essence of Maine's sugar-making heritage but also offers knitters an engaging project to immerse themselves in. The sample is knitted using the luxurious Malabrigo Silky Merino, known for its exceptional softness and rich color variations.
