MOSI is African and means “firstborn”. This cardigan is my first design. For me, my firstborn in my life as a designer.

The MOSI cardigan is knitted back and forth on a circular needle from top to bottom. To shape the yoke, short rows and raglan increases are used. The sleeves are worked in the round.
