Sailing Bolero
This is a great cover-up for cool summer nights or ocean breezes, when you
need just a little extra layer. Knit from the bottom up with the simplest lace
details, the body can easily be made longer if desired. With stitches picked up
and short-row sleeve caps worked, the only seaming is at the shoulders.
