Seawaves Top
This lightweight top is ideal for spring and summer—its pretty lace detail alludes to beach holidays, ocean breezes, and frothy sea waves. This is a feminine, relaxed, and casual sweater, to be worn equally well with a dress, pretty skirt, or your favorite shorts. Most of the knitting is easy, with a combination of stockinette and reverse stockinette as the main pattern.
Worked from the bottom up in one piece starting with a provisional cast on, the top features the classic Seawaves Stitch on the sleeves, highlighting the curve of the shoulders. The neck opening is obtained by a simple bind-off followed by a cast-on. After working the other side from top to bottom, the body border is worked in the round in the Seawaves Stitch pattern, using the provisional cast-on stitches and the live stitches from the other end.
Stitch pattern is both written and charted.
