Instead of using spray paint or drawing, these artists use yarn to decorate everyday things like trees, benches, and bikes. They turn plain spaces into colorful and eye-catching works of art. This type of art combines the coziness of handmade crafts with the boldness of outdoor art. It’s not just about making things look pretty — it’s about adding happiness, color, and a sense of togetherness to our streets.

How do you do a whole tree like that?? Do you just start knitting at the base and keep coming back? How do you get to the branches if you've already covered the trunk in sweater?

I guess we'll never know.

In panels, then sew them onto the trees maybe?

Yep, you can see how they saw it close together in the pier ring picture. Also, knitted fabric can be done so it stretches a lot, that's why it fits so nicely around odd shapes. The trees are still a lot of work to do, I'm quite impressed, I had only seen cilinders around the lower part of trunks.
