​​Delicate textured stripes, a fun play with colours and nearly transparent balloon sleeves: The Meltemi pullover will hug you like a light cloud of comfort.
This seamless design has a cozy, oversized fit while still looking elegant and feminine. The pullover features a top-down, modified dropped-shoulder construction conceived especially for this design
The pattern provides extensive information and tips on how to modify the yoke, the body or sleeves - and how to proceed if you want to adjust the instructions without changing the overall style of the garment​

The Meltemi Pullover is focused on colour: A gradual progression of different hues is achieved by exchanging only one of the two strands of lace yarn that are held together in each stripe. 
​The design is kept minimal with a modified dropped shoulder - to avoid the bulky underarms that sometimes happen with this construction - textured stripes and delicate, almost transparent balloon sleeves that grow out of a short-row cap section for added structure. A few eyelets at the start and end of the sleeves give a hint of romance. This light, comfy pullover features diagonal shaping lines at the sides that reach from the underarm to the hem. Together with the hidden decreases just above the hem at the back, they produce an elegant blouse shape of the boxy body. 
All techniques and methods are either explained in the pattern itself with attached photo tutorials, or links are provided that point to web-tutorials.
