Introducing my second Celeste knitted sweater

*This article may contain affiliate links.

Another Celeste sweater! I loved the first one so much that I couldn’t stop knitting a second one.

My first one was in rather muted tones, but this time, I went with brighter colors.

I also slightly modified stuff.

Minor alterations compared to the first Celeste

If you want to read about Celeste’s features, you can read everything in this article.

I used Drops Karisma yarn once again.

Here’s the list of the colors I knitted:

  • 39-Pink (*9 for a size M)
  • 66-Light pink (*1)
  • 72-Light grey (*1)
  • 45-Light olive green (*1)
  • 79-Lemon yellow (*1)

Beware of the 39-Pink when wet-blocking, I had some color discharge while soaking.

I printed the diagram and played a bit with my pencils to organize my colors.

I did some minor modifications. I went with twisted 1*1 ribbing instead of 1*1 ribbing. I prefer having my collar and cuffs  tight.

 

A new Celeste for fall

This project went rather quick since I had already knitted one and knew the tricks:

  • Italian cast-on and bind-off
  • Double knitting
  • Top-down knitting
  • Ribbing
  • Colorwork

I still need Youtube help for having gap-free armholes!

This tutorial is the best IMO.

I’m a bit disappointed by my chocie of colors. I thought they would be more vibrant, but they’re not. That’s the problem when buying online.
