Yarn Kit – Mokosh Pullover by Teti Lutsak

Teti Lutsak, a botanist turned knitwear designer, has taken the knitting world by storm through her nature inspired, almost etheric looking, romantic and timeless style. 

After spending a decade in academia, Teti says she truly found herself in knitting. Her journey, which started as a creative escape from strict lab protocols, became a way to express herself and embrace her Ukrainian heritage. 

“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 in choosing your colour palette.

For the more intermediate or adventurous beginner maybe, knitted in stranded colourwork Mokosh features a striking play with colour.
The pullover is worked top down starting with the neckline rib then working into the charts for the yoke which is shaped at the back using short rows. The body is worked straight down in a flattering boxy style and there are options to continue the colourwork throughout the whole pullover if you like.
Video tutorials are provided with links in the pattern.

You'll knit this woolly embrace of a pullover using 100% Merino D'Arles, the softest wool there is, Mokosh by Hey Mama Wolf.
Seriously, this yarn offers such a tactile knitting pleasure, your fingers will tingle with joy and your hands will thank you throughout the experience. Colours used in the original design are: Henna Red, Hawthorne Pink, Caocao Brown and Mustard Yellow.

Sizes 1 - 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)” incl. ca. 10cm / 4” recommended positive ease.

We've done the maths for you, so according to your size the Mokosh Yarn Kit contains all the yarn you need to make your very own pullover, and it can be bought with or without the pattern.
In addition you'll need circular needles size 2.5mm / US1.5 and 3mm / US2.5 in 80-100cm / 32-40” length, preferred needles in same sizes to work smaller circumferences, spare cables, spare circular needles or scrap yarn to keep sts on hold, a few stitch markers one of which removable, and a darning needle for weaving in your ends.
