Korean word “바람(baram)” has two meanings: “wind” and “wish”.
A myriad of beautiful traditional patterns and motifs can still be found everywhere in Korea, from traditional architecture to daily goods. They have been used not only for decoration, but also for the ways to symbolize nature, philosophy, or wishes.

Ajamun (亞字紋) comes from the Chinese character (亞), which implies shamantic symbolism.
It also means longevity because it appears in a series.
Wanjamunv (卍字紋) is formed with protruding right angles. In virtue of its dynamic and elegant image, it is often used as a decorative pattern for furnitures or architectures, as well as the symbol of Buddist temples.
Yeonhwamun (蓮花紋) is a lotus flower pattern which represents Buddha and reincarnation in Buddhism.

You need to knit at least 5 ~ 10 cm larger than your bust to get the perfect fit that the pattern aims for.
“Baram” cardigan captures the aesthetic of Korean traditional patterns full of wishes for your health and good luck.
