Celeste Sweater - Women's Petite Knit
The Celeste Sweater is a stunning top-down circular yoke design featuring an intricate stranded colorwork pattern in five colors. This intermediate-to-advanced pattern guides you through creating a beautifully fitted sweater with thoughtful construction details that ensure professional results.
Construction & Technique
Begin at the neck edge and work the yoke in the round, following the charted colorwork pattern. After completing the stranded section, short rows are incorporated to raise the back and create a flattering, comfortable fit. The body and sleeves continue in classic stockinette stitch, finished with ribbed edges for a polished look.
Customization Options
This pattern includes both the charted colorwork design as shown in the brown colorway and blank charts, allowing you to plan your own unique color combinations. Create a sweater that perfectly matches your style and yarn stash.
Sizing & Fit
Designed with approximately 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease for a relaxed, comfortable fit. Ten sizes available: XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL), fitting bust measurements from 75-150 cm [29½-59 inches]. Detailed measurements and a comprehensive size guide are included to help you select your perfect fit.
Important Gauge Notes
Stranded colorwork typically requires a larger needle size (0.5-1 mm) than single-color stockinette to maintain consistent gauge. You must work swatches in both the colorwork pattern and solid stockinette stitch before beginning your sweater to ensure accurate sizing.
What You'll Need
- 450-750 g main color in DK weight yarn
- 50 g each of 4 contrast colors
- Circular needles in multiple sizes: 3 mm to 4.5 mm [US2½ to US7]
- Double-pointed needles or Magic Loop proficiency
Skill Level
Advanced (5 out of 5 stars). This pattern requires experience with stranded colorwork, short row shaping, and top-down construction.
