The Celia Cardigan Kit is a stunning project for makers who want a classic buttoned cardigan with an open, lacy fabric throughout.

Celia is a 3/4-sleeve, scoop-neck cardigan designed by Jody Long, worked in an allover diamond lace pattern and finished with seven buttons down the front. Worked in Aquarella, a 100% silk yarn from Araucania, the tonal variegation moves gently across the lace, catching the light with the natural sheen only silk can give. Each piece is knitted flat and seamed, giving the finished cardigan good structure and shape.

Designed for Makers Like You

Celia is a wonderful project for intermediate knitters who enjoy lace work. Knitting each piece flat and seaming them together gives you good control over shape and fit, and the buttoned front adds a classic, wearable finish to the open lace fabric.

It is especially suited to makers who love:

Knitted lace cardigan patterns with a classic, buttoned silhouette
Seamed garments with defined shape
Silk yarn with genuine sheen and drape
Lightweight layering pieces for warmer months and transitional weather
Handmade wardrobe pieces with an elegant, considered finish

Spun with Purpose

Aquarella is a fingering weight yarn from Araucania, made from 100% recycled silk sourced from production waste, giving new life to fibre that might otherwise go unused. The silk itself comes from Ahimsa production, a process that allows silkworms to complete their natural life cycle and hatch as moths before the empty cocoons are gathered.

This yarn is:

100% recycled organic silk, sourced from production waste
made using Ahimsa silk production
OEKO-TEX certified
fingering weight, suited to fine gauge lace and garment work
naturally lustrous with a soft halo and gentle shimmer
tonal and painterly for gradual colour movement

Made to Be Made

The Celia Cardigan Kit is a beautiful choice for:

Intermediate knitters looking for a knitted lace cardigan pattern with a classic silhouette
Makers who enjoy seamed garments with defined shape
Lightweight layering pieces for warmer weather
Projects where silk's natural sheen and drape can shine
Handmade wardrobe pieces with elegance and structure

If you have been looking for a knitted lace cardigan pattern worked in a genuinely special yarn, the Celia Cardigan Kit is a fantastic one to cast on.

Your Next Mindful Make
