A folk-costume couple: Mary with a long golden plait tied with a red bow, a beaded kokoshnik and a patterned sarafan over a white blouse, and Ivan with blond hair in an embroidered white shirt with a belt, dark trousers and a peaked cap with a rose. Knit them in blue, green or lilac – a lovely gift and a cheerful decoration.
