Meli melo is a very fun and quick project to knit, for a warm and
comfy hat. Knitted with two strands of Azun Sport yarns in different colours, you can create nice random patterns that will make your hat unique! It’s construction is simple and makes it suitable for beginners.
This beannie is worked bottom-up, with a double fold edge in 22 ribs. Its originality lies in using 2 strands of yarn with different colors. It creates unique colored patterns.

I knitted my sample with 2 strands of Azun Sport yarn held together, in campêche blue and quebracho pink colors.
