Medokvit captures the sweetness of honey and the joyful bloom of flowers. Its name, a blend of two Ukrainian words — “med” (honey) and “kvit” (flower) — hints at the inspiration behind the design: sunlit meadows, buzzing bees, and petals dancing in a warm breeze. With its modular construction and a thoughtful blend of flat and in-the-round knitting, Medokvit offers an engaging knit that unfolds like a story — one motif, one panel at a time.
 
The design features floral-inspired colourwork with a hint of honeycomb geometry and a dot pattern, creating a rich yet airy texture that’s as sweet to knit as it is to wear. The sleeveless vest/tee is perfect for layering in transitional weather or wearing solo on bright summer days. Knit with the long sleeves, a higher neck and maybe in a heavier yarn, it also makes for a wonderful pullover.

You will be able to take a closer look at my two samples and discover the design process in episode 45 on my YouTube channel. You already have a link in the pattern file. And a separate video, explaining the construction and steps involved in knitting the garment, is also provided in the pattern.
