“Kvitka” means “flower” in Ukrainian, and this is where I drew inspiration for this design. This swoncho is knitted from the top down, making it easy to try on as you go and marvel at your creation! It’s adorned with floral colorwork motifs throughout, which will keep you engaged the whole time yet it isn’t a complicated pattern to knit and knits up fast!
