Sade is the Finnish word for rain. This pullover was inspired by rain drops and the crisscrossing patterns water makes when it streams down a smooth surface.

The body is worked in the round from the hem upwards until the armholes, after which the front and the back are worked separately. The sleeves and neckband are picked up from the body and worked in the round.
