Sea Waves Tee KAL Week 2

Welcome to week two of the Sea Waves KAL!

Last week we started this pattern by completing the swatch, casting on and finishing the bustline shaping. If you haven’t started yet don’t worry, just head over to week one to catch up! This week we will be starting the neckline increases. This week might look really long, but don’t worry, it’s not! The neckline increase for all sizes in separate. Therefore, you just need to find you’re size and follow that section of the pattern.

Don’t forget to enter the giveaway! You can win a full Clover Interchangeable Needle Set and 3 skeins of hand dyed yarn. To enter the giveaway simply participate in the KAL and post on Instagram using #seawaveskal (tag me @mountains.of.yarn so that I see it!). Every post using #seawaveskal will count as an entry until August 25, 2021. You must be following @mountains.of.yarn and @cloverusa on Instagram to win the giveaway.

Materials:

  • DK Weight Yarn (any DK weight that meets gauge will work! I used Mountains of Yarn DK in Deep Seas.
  • Interchangeable Knitting Needles No. 7 – Art.  No 3637 (I recommend interchangeable needles, its way easier to switch to longer cords! You will need sizes 16in-36in cords)
  • Clover Tapestry Needle (to weave in ends) – Art. No 3113
  • Quick Locking Stitch Marker Set – Art. No 3033
  • Knitting Counter (optional, but really helpful for keeping track of what row you’re on!) – Art. No 336

Abbreviations:

K = knit

M1 = make 1 (either left or right, your choice!)

  • This pattern is worked continuously in the round, until the lace section (specific details regarding the lace section will be provided on week 5
  • This pattern is made as a top down pattern, with increases in the yoke
  • Check out week one’s post for sizing guidelines and yardage.
