Because of the beautiful wavy neckline, this sweater got the name WAVELET. It is a seamless top-down sweater with an interesting lace pattern on the round yoke while the rest is made in reverse stockinette (knitted on the wrong side).

The range of ease across all the sizes is 9-11 cm/3.5-4.5”.

The picture shows size 2 with 9.5 cm/3.75” of positive ease.

PATTERN NOTES:
• I recommend swatching for the lace pattern and if you notice that it is looser than the stockinette stitch, please use smaller needles for working the lace section of your sweater.
• The sweater is worked in one piece top down. You start with neck band/ribbing, then work the round yoke according to Lace Chart. After the round yoke, you work the neck shaping with short rows, then separate the sleeves and the body and continue working them separately. For reverse stockinette, you knit on the wrong side.

SKILLS REQUIRED:
• basics (cast on/bind off, knit/purl, increase/decrease)
• short rows
• working in the round
• working from a chart
