Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Winter 2009:
Sharon Shoji works the Wave and Dimple Kimono in two pieces - an upper body worked from cuff to cuff, and a lower body worked from the hem up. The closely set cables of this fabric have a secret: Twelve stitches are reduced to six for the crossings, creating a gentle dimple above and below the twist.

Finished Size: 47½ (53½, 60)“ bust circumference, to fit sizes 33–42 (39–48, 46–55)”. Sweater shown measures 47½“, modeled on 34” actual bust.

Yarn Trendsetter Yarns Merino VIII (100% superwash merino; 98 yd [90 m]/50 g): #7440 dark teal, 17 (19, 23) balls.

Needles Size 8 (5 mm): 29–36” circular (cir), depending on size. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions Markers (m); cable needle (cn); coil-less safety pins; stitch holders; tapestry needle.

Notes:

  • This sweater is worked in two pieces. The upper section is knitted from wrist to wrist and the lower section is knitted from the hem up.
  • When binding off for the neck shaping, slip the first stitch at the beginning of the row, rather than working it.
