MillaMia Melina Jumper
What Is Being Made
The MillaMia Melina Jumper is an intermediate-level knitted sweater designed to fit chest sizes ranging from 82-87cm (32-34in) through 142-147cm (56-58in). This garment features a show-stopping cable-detail collar as a focal point, with finished chest measurements spanning from 92cm (36in) to 164cm (64½in) and length to back neck ranging from 58cm (22¾in) to 70cm (27½in). The sleeve length is consistent across all sizes at 27cm (10½in).
Techniques Used
The Melina Jumper is constructed using a bottom-up approach, meaning the garment is knitted from the lower edge upward. The pieces are worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, and the finished sections are seamed together to create the complete garment. Cable work is a primary decorative element throughout the design, particularly featured in the distinctive collar.
Stitches and Cable Work
The pattern utilizes stocking stitch (stockinette stitch in US terminology) as the primary fabric base. Cable techniques are central to the design, with specific cable stitches including C4F (cable 4 front: slip next 2 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at front of work, knit 2, then knit 2 from cable needle) and Cr4Lp (cable 4 front purl: slip next 2 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at front of work, purl 2, then knit 2 from cable needle). These cable crossings create the textured, dimensional detail that defines the jumper's aesthetic. The pattern notes that choosing a lighter colour yarn is recommended to allow the cable detail to stand out prominently.
Materials and Needles
The Melina Jumper is knitted using MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino yarn, available exclusively at lovecrafts.com. Yarn quantities are approximate and range from 12 balls (50g/1¾oz each) for the smallest size to 21 balls for the largest size. The primary colourway featured is Rain (colour A). Additional colourway options include Snow, Cloud Grey, Forget Me Not, and Storm.
The pattern requires 3mm (US 2) knitting needles and 3.25mm (US 3) knitting needles for the main fabric work. A long circular 3.25mm (US 3) needle is needed to accommodate stitches as required during construction. For larger sizes, both 3mm and 3.25mm circular needles are recommended for working backwards and forwards. A cable needle is essential for executing the cable stitches throughout the design.
Tension and Gauge
The pattern is worked to a tension of 34 rows to 10cm (4in) over stocking stitch using 3.25mm (US 3) needles. Achieving the correct gauge is important for obtaining the finished measurements specified in the pattern.
Difficulty Level
This jumper is rated as intermediate skill level, making it suitable for knitters with some experience who are comfortable working with cables, seaming garment pieces, and following multi-sized pattern instructions.
