The melimelo sweater was designed with a goal to emphasize colours and retro patterns. With its oversized fit, its colourful look and its balloon sleeves, this sweater is assured to become one of your staple pieces! The knitting pattern is categorized as an "intermediate" pattern, due to the extensive amount of colour work required to complete the sweater.
