THIS IS A KNITTING PATTERN. NOT A PHYSICAL PRODUCT.

Pattern available in english, español, français, italian korean 한국어.

This design is one that I hold close to my heart. Not only is it the year of the bunny and an ode to saskie, my little senior bunny that I adopted this year, it is also designed for mid-autumn festival, also known as the mooncake festival. It is a matching design for saskie socks. You can find a very special offering with bunny notions here.

We grew up celebrating mid-autumn (中秋节) and it brings very precious and fond memories of my childhood. We would play lanterns, enjoy mooncakes and listen to folklore surrounding the festival.

This top-down jumper is knitted in the round and features a seamless construction and colourwork yoke. It comes in ten adult sizes with customization options for body length and sleeve length.
