Celina

Introducing Celina, an updated and more comfortable version of the classic Birte knitting pattern. This modern design offers a slightly larger fit compared to the original, making it perfect for those who prefer a more relaxed silhouette. Celina is primarily worked in the round, providing a seamless and enjoyable knitting experience. Just when you reach the beginning of the raglan, you will transition to working in rows, adding a touch of variety to your crafting journey. The stylish sleeves are set in afterwards, allowing for creative freedom in your assembly.

A standout feature of the Celina pattern is the stunning wide Fair Isle border that adorns both the back and front sections. This intricate design adds a unique flair to the garment, making it a true eye-catcher. Additionally, the neckline border features the same Fair Isle pattern, ensuring a cohesive and elegant look throughout. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one, Celina is sure to impress.

**Gauges:** For this pattern, you'll need to achieve the following gauges: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4” (10 x 10 cm) in stockinette stitch using larger needles, and 22 stitches and 40 rows = 4” (10 x 10 cm) in garter stitch using smaller needles. These precise measurements are essential to ensure your finished garment fits beautifully and drapes perfectly.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your crafting journey, Celina offers a delightful mix of comfort, style, and artistic expression. Download your free or paid Celina knitting pattern today and start creating a stunning piece that you’ll cherish for years to come!
