The meaning of Lunita is to be a communicator, logical, and energetic - all things I wish I had more of in my life. It also means “little moon” which suits it perfectly with all the color changes that reflect the various tones you can see in our beautiful moon.
This top-down sweater features an easy to memorize stitch pattern which results in a visually interesting and easy to wear sweater. It is worked seamlessly in one piece with sleeves being held on waste yarn and picked up later. Sleeves are ¾ length, but easily modifiable to be full length or short sleeve. Designed with positive ease, it’s perfect for layering on top of clothes as well as under.
