Meltdown Sweater | Knitting Pattern and Optional Kits

The Meltdown Sweater, an original design by Tante EHM for Biscotte Yarns, is a captivating addition to your wardrobe. This lightweight piece not only offers comfort but also invites you to express your creativity by selecting colors that truly resonate with your personal style.

"It’s the perfect sweater to showcase your delectable hand-dyed yarns, especially when you have more than one favorite color ! It’s a boxy pullover with a round yoke, knit from the top down. The purl panel blurs the colour transitions while adding interesting texture. Bracelet length sleeves emphasize the slightly cropped, boxy fit of the sweater. Folded hems finish all the edges for a sleek, minimal look.” - Tante EHM

24 sts x 36 rnds = 10 cm (4”) in over Stockinette on 3.5 mm (US 4) needles; To get the fit you want please check your gauge.

NOTES

I recommend weaving in the ends for the stripes as you go, especially at the neck, since once completed, the wrong side is enclosed and inaccessible.
To lengthen the body or sleeves, evenly distribute the extra rounds in the blocks of color. For example, to lengthen the body 2.5 cm (1”), work 3 extra rounds in each color of the body. This will keep the blocks of color in proportion.

ENJOY! ♥
