This asymmetric design combines easy and fun-to-knit wave color work with comfortable casual style. Worked in sock yarn, the sweater has nice drape and the weight is light and comfortable through a range of seasons.

A simple cable twist below the bust provides subtle shaping of the loose-fitting tunic to accentuate the asymmetric shape but not complicate the simple lines.

The pattern is named in honor of Saint Gerard Majella, who is the patron saint of mothers.
