The Design:
The Meli-Melo Shawl is a lightweight, cozy layer with a centered neck opening and two front panels. Wear the panels loose, cross them near the neck, or secure them with a brooch.
A mixture of textures gives the symmetrical design a subtle, timeless look and keeps a long project interesting. Experienced knitters can repeat, skip, or rearrange sections to personalize it.
Why "Meli-Melo"?
Meli-Melo is a French phrase for a charming mixture or mishmash, reflecting the combination of textures.
Knit the shawl flat around a centered cable, then split the work to form the two front panels. Multiple stitch patterns create changing textures throughout. The techniques are approachable, but the length and variety make this a substantial project.
