2-29-2020 update: The pattern is now also available in my ravelry store as a single pattern download.

Mut is one of the 11 modern, minimalist patterns featured in Issue 2 of Making Stories Magazine, available on October 29.

“When loving and caring for others, ourselves, and our community is interpreted through knitting, the entire craft is the highlight. We knit to spread joy, for others or ourselves.

There is joy in making and joy in wearing, but when the maker creates something so specific, like Mut, this Brioche Seelenwaermer, the resulting garment spreads love. It displays comfort through careful selection of huggable yarn, squeezable brioche fabric, and artful stitching.

This garment is made to hug you and comfort you.”
