Seela sweater knitting pattern is a relaxed, top-down sweater with raglan sleeves that combines classic, timeless style with a modern, wearable fit. Knitted in one piece from the top down, it is beginner-friendly and perfect for a versatile everyday knitwear project.

The sweater features easy-to-follow stockinette and ribbing stitches, worked on US 6 / 4 mm circular needles for ribbing and US 10 / 6 mm circular needles for stockinette stitch. Its comfortable silhouette and timeless design make it a must-have knitted sweater for any handmade wardrobe.

The pattern was originally created for The Women’s Bank to support their cause. All 2022 proceeds from Seela pattern were donated to the Women’s Bank to support women’s occupational training and entrepreneurship in Africa and Asia.

Available in English and Finnish, designed by Jonna Helin.
