Lucina is the ancient Roman goddess of light and birth.

The Lucina pullover is knitted seamlessly from the top down, holding two strands of lace-weight silk mohair together. The pullover is light, airy and loose-fitting, designed especially with cool, end of the summer evenings in mind. The neckband is knitted as an i-cord and tied into a bow in the back.
