Materials Used: For our lovely dark blue version, we used AGRIGENTO, a 100% Egyptian aran-weight cotton. You will need approximately 250 - 300 - 400 grams of the main color and 25 grams for each tip color. Each ball weighs 100 grams and provides 150 meters of yarn (3½ oz - yardage: 47 yds per oz). For the exquisite lilac jumper, we opted for NOTO, a 50% cotton/50% linen blend. This yarn combines three strands for a rustic texture and softens the hues, giving your finished jumper a unique and charming look.
Whether you’re knitting for your own child or making a special gift for a loved one, the MELINDA jumper is a perfect project that combines creativity and functionality. Start knitting this stylish jumper today and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a cozy piece that your child will treasure!
