The Staffin Lite pattern includes a sweater, which has short and long sleeve options, and a vest. The pattern comes in two gauges: DK weight and Fingering weight.
The Worsted Weight version of the Staffin can be found here.
Staffin is a top-down textured knit with bands of ribbing, purl details and Estonian Buttons. The texture makes it engaging and moreish to knit up, whilst being simple to memorise.
The sweater/tee is a raglan construction. The vest is worked first by knitting the back, then picking up for the fronts and finally joining in the round.

Mokosh is one of Hey Mama Wolf’s most popular yarns. It’s a 2-ply, sport weight yarn made from Merino d'Arles GOTS-certified wool—with a 21 micron count, this is the softest wool native to Europe. This rare sheep breed hails from southern France and, due to the high crimp of its fleece, yarn spun from this wool has pockets of trapped air, providing insulation and resulting in warmer garments. The wool from this breed is exceptionally fluffy, bouncy, and soft.
Our favorite GOTS-certified mill in Turkey then spins and dyes our exquisite organic wool, allowing us to have everything under one roof. This reduces our carbon footprint and ensures that the wool meets our high standards for quality and sustainability. GOTS certification is important to us, as it guarantees the best for the environment, sheep, and even the people involved in the production.
Mokosh is lightweight, lofty, and has a fine sheen. This makes it ideal for knitting sweaters, hats, and shawls.
