Goldenfern

Introducing Goldenfern, a beautifully designed, seamless circular yoke sweater that features intricate colorwork details both on the body and the sleeve cuffs. This stunning pattern draws inspiration from the enchanting sight of ferns bathed in warm sunset hues during an evening walk through the forest. Knit from the top down, Goldenfern allows you to try on your sweater as you go, ensuring a perfect fit every time. The yoke construction is straightforward and includes a charming raglan shaping that enhances the fit in the shoulders, making it a great choice for knitters of all skill levels.

For the colorwork components, you have the creative freedom to choose from 3 colors to create a beautiful fading effect. Alternatively, you can select a single contrasting color or even a gradient yarn for a unique touch.

Goldenfern is designed to be worn with an ease of 4–8 inches (10–20.5 cm), ensuring that it drapes nicely and offers comfort. The sample shown is size B with 4 inches (10 cm) of positive ease, which highlights the sweater's flattering silhouette.
