The white, cabled Moomellow sweater by Soumine Kim was inspired by the appearance of the Moomin family: their friendly, rounded noses and soft bodies. The sweater combines a saddle-shoulder construction with raglan shaping, blending classic style and modern sensibility.

Worked from the neckband down, the ribbing and large cable patterns flow seamlessly through the body and sleeves for a clean, refined silhouette. Short rows are used to shape a smooth neckline. The cable motif forms rounded shapes and graceful curves, while the mix of wool and mohair gives the garment both bold presence and inviting warmth.
