The Malena Pullover is designed with raglan sleeves and features a color-work pattern, that uses a solid together with a variegated yarn. Rolled edges define the ribbed hems and collar.
The body is split in two sections by a stripe in garter and St st, where the lower section of the color-work pattern is reversed. The sleeves are split in three sections, with the main pattern at the center and the reversed pattern at the top and bottom of the sleeve. The raglans are outlined with a stripe in main color. The garment is knitted bottom-up in pieces and then sewn together.
