Seawaves Top

This lightweight knitting top is ideal for the spring and summer seasons—its delicate lace detailing evokes images of beach holidays, gentle ocean breezes, and frothy sea waves. Designed to be both feminine and casual, this relaxed sweater can be styled effortlessly with a dress, pretty skirt, or your favorite pair of shorts. The knitting process is straightforward, featuring a delightful combination of stockinette and reverse stockinette as the central pattern, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels.

Crafted from the bottom up in one continuous piece, the top begins with a provisional cast-on. The design features the classic Seawaves Stitch on the sleeves, beautifully accentuating the curvature of the shoulders. To achieve the desired neck opening, a simple bind-off technique is followed by a cast-on, ensuring a clean and professional finish. After completing one side from top to bottom, the body border is skillfully knit in the round using the Seawaves Stitch pattern, employing the provisional cast-on stitches along with the live stitches from the opposite end, resulting in a seamless appearance.

This stunning stitch pattern is offered in both written and charted formats to cater to different learning styles and preferences. Whether you're a beginner looking to expand your skills or an experienced knitter seeking a refreshing project, this pattern will meet your needs.
