Caterina

Introducing the beautiful Caterina knitting pattern, designed to capture a vintage aesthetic that will transform into a cherished heirloom piece, perfect for passing down from baby to baby. This delightful garment features a top-down construction for ease of knitting, along with a charming buttoned back and an A-line skirt that provides both style and comfort. Crafted with positive ease, the Caterina pattern ensures that little ones have room to grow, making it an ideal tunic for toddlers.

Yarn choice plays a crucial role in bringing this design to life, and for the Caterina, we recommend using Anzula Ava in a sport weight for optimal results. You will need a US size 4 (3.50 mm) needle, or whichever size will help you achieve the perfect gauge.

The gauge for this pattern is 22.0 stitches per 4 inches, allowing for a precise fit and lovely stitch definition. Caterina comes in a range of sizes suitable for infants and toddlers, including 0-3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2T, and 3T-5T. The chest measurements for each size are as follows: 18” (19”, 20”, 21”, 22”, 23”), ensuring a perfect fit for every lovely little one.

If you’re considering the amount of yarn needed, the Caterina pattern requires a yardage of 350 yards for sizes 0-3 months, scaling up to 900 yards for the 3T-5T size. This makes it a great project for knitters at any level seeking a timeless piece that blends tradition and modern functionality.
