Sunde Sweater is a striped raglan sweater that is knitted top down with raglan increases. The neckband is folded double, and short rows are knitted in the neck to create the shape of the neckline. The body and sleeves are finished with a wide ribbing. The stripes are repeated every 15th-17th row, and recommended videos are listed at the end of the pattern.

Sunde Sweater should have a positive ease of around 13-15 cm. Knit a gauge swatch before starting, so that you can be certain you achieve the correct gauge.
