Unda Sweater

This is a knitting pattern (PDF) only.

Brief overview / tips:

“Unda” is Latin for “wave”.

The sweater is knitted top-down using 1 strand of each yarn held together on 10 mm needles.

It consists entirely of cable patterns and has a long yoke, a short body, drop shoulders, and i-cord bind-offs.

Stitches are first increased only for the front and back, and then only for the sleeves.

I have lightly felted mine in the tumble dryer for just a few minutes. This helps prevent the sweater from stretching as much and gives it a firmer shape.
