I was scrolling around on Ravelry the other day, as one sometimes does when they should be doing other things, and I found this gorgeous sweater.
The Pagan Sky sweater from Zanete Knits is worked in DK weight yarn
from the top down with a circular yoke and deep colorwork pattern inspired by Latvian symbols of strength. To quote from the pattern description:
The sweater is knitted from alpaca yarn and accented with combinations of amber Latvian characters. They show the sign of Dievs (God) – the basis of all Latvian writings, the sign of the feminine Saule (Sun), the cross of M?ra and elements of Austra (dawn) tree. These strong Latvian signs were used by our ancestors for beauty, strength and protection and are still very much in use today.
The pattern is available in six sizes and is meant to be worn with 2-6 inches of positive ease. The pattern is $8.50 on Ravelry.
