Candelariella is a sister design to my Candelaria blouse.
It’s a round yoke pullover, which features the same colourwork pattern as on the blouse. The pullover is knit top-down in the round and calls for any fingering weight yarn.
It carries its name because of the small pattern repeats on the bottom of the yoke, which remind me of upside down candles. Candelaria is also a feminine name with Portuguese and Spanish roots. Coming from the Latin root “candela”, Candelaria translates to “candle,” and is believed to light baby’s way through the darkness. How poetic, isn’t it?
You can take a closer look at the original sample and discover the design process in Episode 39 of my podcast.
The pattern is written for nine sizes
