Sea Waves Tee KAL Week 3
Welcome to week three of the Sea Waves KAL!
Last week we started the neckline increases. If you haven’t started yet don’t worry, just head over to week one to catch up! This week we will be finishing the neckline increases and breaking for the body. 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. Once you have finished the neckline increases head over to the Arm Lace section, which has instructions for all sizes.
