News (March 2015): This pattern is not representative of my current design work and pattern writing style. It may or may not be updated at some point. (If you have bought it, you will automatically receive any update into your library.)

A simple yet sophisticated fitted sweater with a stockinette body knitted bottom up in the round and a cosy cowl neck. The wide wrist-length sleeves, which are breezy as well as cuddly, are attached seamlessly working downwards from the armholes, and the recurring wave pattern adds textural interest and lends itself well to drawing attention to a beautiful yarn.
Apart from two small shoulder seams, this sweater is completely seamless.

Yardage for body yarn: approx. 600 / 600 / 650 / 700 / 750 / 800 / 850 yds

“Lana Grossa Bingo”, the yarn used for the body, is easily available in Germany but might be rare elsewhere. Suggested substitute yarns:
Cascade 220, Knitpicks Wool of the Andes, Briggs & Little Heritage, New Lanark Aran.
Suggested alternatives for the sleeves: Manos del Uruguay

The sweater is supposed to be worn with a bit of positive ease. The modelled sweater is a size S worn by a person with a ~32’’ / 81 cm bust.
