Mella

Introducing Mella, a stylish and modern pullover inspired by Norse design, named after the term for "slip knot." This beautifully crafted piece features a straight cabled silhouette that showcases a striking wide central cable panel along both the body and sleeves. The unique design is further enhanced by boxes of garter stitches that creatively disrupt the cables, giving the illusion of erasing portions of the cable work. The sleeves are finished with elegant garter stitch edging, while the front and back of the pullover seamlessly transition into a chic check pattern.

The Mella sweater culminates in a classic crew neck, artfully adorned with a decorative I-cord finish, adding a touch of sophistication. Crafted with care from the luxurious and bouncy Sølje pelt wool sourced from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, this garment promises both warmth and comfort, making it perfect for chilly weather.

This stunning pullover is shown in size S and is designed to be worn with +6 cm ease on the model for a relaxed fit that suits any body type.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect knit with a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch that measures 10 cm square after blocking. Accurate gauge is essential for ensuring your project turns out just right!

Notes: The Mella pullover is knitted back and forth in separate pieces, which are then seamed together for a professional finish. The neckband is knitted in the round for added practicality, and stitches are picked up and knitted from the first round of the neckband to create the exquisite I-cord bind-off decoration. This unique construction adds to the overall charm and skill level, making it a rewarding project for intermediate knitters.

Whether you're looking to expand your handmade wardrobe or create a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Mella pullover is a must-have addition to any knitting enthusiast's collection. Explore your creativity and enjoy the process of crafting this beautiful piece!
