Mokosh pullover by Teti Lutsak Kit

“Mokosh” borrows its name from the yarn I used for my sample. Mokosh is a Slavic goddess of Mother Earth, patroness of women’s work and women’s destiny. The design is unapologetically bright and patterned, loud as if asking to be heard — a very unusual combination coming from me. Yet you can make it as calm/muted as you wish, plus it is a wonderful project to make use of yarn leftovers.

The pullover is knit top-down in the round. 

Sizes:
The pattern is written for nine sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) with a finished bust circumference of ca. 80 (94, 106, 120, 126) (134, 140, 154, 166) cm // 31.5 (37, 41.5, 47.25, 49.5) (52.75, 55, 60.75, 65.25) in incl. at least 10 cm (4 in) of the recommended positive ease.
