MOSI is an African name, and means ‘firstborn’. This top a derivative of the MOSI sweater and cardigan, my first designs, my firstborns in my life as a designer. It is a top that children can enjoy wearing in summer and winter. It has a loose, comfortable and stylish fit.
The MOSI mini top is knitted bottom-up. In this process, the body is knitted in the round. Later, front and back are split and then you knit them back and forth separately. The shoulders are created by binding off the front and back together. Finally, the little sleeves are knitted in the round.
After purchasing this product, you will receive by mail the digital version of the pattern of this design.
