Melli is a classic sweater and unique small details make it something special. My aim was to create a sweater that makes you feel well-dressed, is suitable for everyday wear, is comfortable and can be worked so variably that it can accompany you all year round.

Melli is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The wide stripes are worked alternately in stockinette stitch and in a slip stitch pattern. Various options are given for the neckband, neckline depth and sleeve length so that the sweater can be easily adapted to personal preferences.

Melli ist ein klassischer Pulli, der durch spezielle kleine Details etwas Besonderes wird. Mein Ziel war ein Pulli, in dem man sich gut gekleidet fühlt, der alltagstauglich und bequem ist und so variabel gestrickt werden kann, dass er einen durch das ganze Jahr begleiten kann.

Melli wird von nahtlos von oben nach unten gestrickt. Die breiten Streifen werden abwechselnd glatt rechts und in einem Hebemaschenmuster gearbeitet. Für Halsbündchen, Ausschnitttiefe sowie Ärmellänge sind verschiedene Optionen angegeben, so dass der Pulli leicht den persönlichen Vorlieben angepasst werden kann.
