The summer tee version of this design can be found here.

The lotus, or hoa sen, is an iconic symbolic element in Vietnamese culture, representing purity, loyalty, optimism, and enlightenment. Hoa Sen Pullover displays the same bold lotus-inspired lace motif used in my Hoa Sen Tee and interprets it for the cooler seasons of the year. The longer body features gentle a-line shaping, and the pattern contains two options for ¾ sleeves: gathered (shown) and fitted depending on your preference. Knit in a laceweight wool and laceweight silk mohair held together, the result is luxurious and regal; the pullover can also be knit in a single strand of sport or DK for crisper results.

Pattern has been tech edited and tested. Lace is charted only.
