Celine Mini -knitting pattern
Based on the Celine Pullover, this mini version is for children aged 12months to 12years.
A Simple top-down knit with braid detailed cables at the raglan shoulders, and a keyhole button at the back. Designed to be a little over sized with 3-4” positive ease. The body and sleeves are written without shaping until they taper slightly in before the rib.
Designed with Mamy Factory Petite Cherie, a washable aran weight angora/merino but would work well with most aran weight yarns, particularly those with more than single ply as they make the cables pop.
Techniques include: cables, knitting in the round, lifted increases
