Golden Assam

Golden Assam is the pullover version of my Matcha Latte cardigan pattern. This fingering-weight sweater is worked from the top down in a hybrid round yoke and raglan construction.

Golden Assam exhibits the same design features as its cardigan counterpart: a fern-like lace on the yoke with hidden increases, short-row shaping for improved fit, and striking twisted-rib details — in the round this time!

The pullover features a round neckline. The deep ribbed hem and a tapered body give the garment a slim silhouette. This comfortably light, semi-cropped pullover is a wardrobe staple for all seasons.

The pattern is written with both metric and US terminology. Both written and charted instructions are given for the lace patterns.
