Asseleen is worked from the top down in circular yoke, combined with a raglan construction.

The whimsical open lace has eyelet lines that move right and left, mixed with three-dimensional vertical bars.

The body is decorated with the lace on the side, which increases to make a gentle A-line shape.

Leizu DK made by Julie Asselin definitely one of my favourite yarns! The speckles in multiple hues are so unexpected that each stitch is fun to work with.
