Candelariella is a sister design to my [Candelaria blouse](/patterns/library/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 my sample and discover the design process in episode 39 of my podcast on YouTube. +[media title][3] **Sizes** --------- The pattern is written for nine sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) with a finished bust circumference of ca. 80 (91, 100, 111, 120) (130, 140, 150, 160) cm //

scrap yarn to keep sts on hold; * a few stitch markers, one of which removable; * a tapestry needle or a crochet hook
for weaving in the ends.   **Gauge** ----- * 28 sts & 34 rnds in 10 cm (4 in) on 3.0 mm (US 2.5) needles measured over
st st and stranded colourwork worked in the round after blocking; * 26 sts & 40 rnds in 10 cm (4 in) on 3.0 mm (US 2.5) needles measured over half twisted ribbing worked in the round 
after blocking (stretched, like on the neck and hem); * 30 sts & 42 rnds in 10 cm (4 in) 3.0 mm (US 2.5) needles measured over half twisted ribbing worked in the round 
after blocking (unstretched, like on the cuffs). Adjust the needle sizes 
if necessary to obtain the correct gauge. **Construction and notes** ---------------------- The pullover is knit top-down in the round. You can choose to shorten or lengthen the half twisted ribbing of the neck as necessary. The neckline is then shaped with short rows and the yoke features a floral stranded colourwork pattern. When the required depth of the yoke is reached, the sts of the yoke are split between body and sleeves. You can adjust the amount of ease on the body and sleeves by redistributing the sts at this stage. The body is knit straight down and is finished with a hem in half twisted ribbing. The sleeves are shaped with decreases on the inner side of the arm. The edges of the neck, hem and both cuffs are trimmed with a touch of contrasting colour yarn.
