About Elena and Kamila
Hi! I’m Karla, the designer behind Elena and Kamila. I named my brand after my two daughters, who are the reason I taught myself to knit and crochet. When I was pregnant, always pictured myself making them hats and blankets but it became so much more than that as I started to fall in love with the process of designing. My designs are all inspired by modern designs, simple stitches and the outdoors. As a family one of our favorite things to do is go camping and hiking, so you will see plenty of inspiration from our time outdoors translated into my designs.

Thank you so much for such a lovely pattern and at no charge. At 81, I have to count every penny, so I’m grateful.
I am loving this pattern. It looks so lacy and pretty and works up in a flash. I am using a J hook, a thinner yarn, chained 72 chains to start and it is perfect. Thank you for this keeper pattern!
