Hallo fellow knitters 
I want to knit a cardigan and am looking for a pattern similar to the wave sweater from spektakelstrikk (see photo attached) If possible, the waves shouldn’t be as long as they are for the spektakelstrikk sweater.
Does anyone has a pattern recommendation? I can’t find any… 
Thank you all and happy Easter 
Julia
Cool sweater. Adding a steek would work for turning it into a cardigan. I think you want to modify the waves though so maybe not that simple.
Maybe you could make your own colour chart with the shorter waves you want on stitchfiddle.com and apply it to a plain cardigan pattern?
I’d look for a basic cardigan with a shape I liked, in the right gauge for your knitting and yarn, and no shaping in the body (ie straight so the pattern can run uninterrupted around). Then I’d make the wave pattern to fit the stitch count and if necessary change the cardigan length by a few rows to ensure the repeat fitted the row count.
It’s a bit of work, designing and maths… but you’d be able to get what you have in mind then.
Thank you for your answer! Did you use stitchfiddle already?
I never designed anything myself and apprehend a bit doing the math and all…
Yes, I’ve used it a few times, mostly just playing with ideas and learning it’s functions but I have done one major project on there and using it to design another. I made a full 2 colour chart for an adult size sweater based on my own knitting gauge and size.
You could make a basic repeat for the wave shape and just centre the repeat on the back of the cardigan which would make the fronts symmetrical at the button band.
It’s a pretty easy piece of software and free for the basic level (so far that’s all I’ve used).
Edited to add: if you make your wave shape on an empty chart (stitch fiddle or just knitting graph paper which can be bought in books or printed from free online sites) and knit up a swatch with a couple of repeats you’ll be able to see if you like the size and width etc of the wave (if you want it shorter or longer its easy to alter). Then, once you know how wide your wave, is you can reasonably easily work out the centre of the wave and centre it to the stitch count on a basic cardigan. You don’t have to make an entire knitting pattern yourself, just place the chart work on a plain pattern. Here’s one as example, bottom up, no shape in the waist or bust, starts as one piece up to armholes.
