Konami, opposite of Tsunami, means a small wave and this pullover flows in gentle waves from cuff to cuff. It’s worked sideways, in the round from sleeve cuff to sleeve cuff, allowing the waves to continue uninterrupted, with vertical waves dripping down the lower body. Once the top, sideways portion is finished, stitches are picked up along the bottom edge and worked in the round to the final length.
