Sea Waves KAL Week 5!
Welcome to week five of the Sea Waves KAL!
Last week we finished the body portion. 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 pattern with the lace section! You can choose to complete this portion of the pattern as either an applied boarder, or knit the lace separately and sew it onto the body portion. Instructions for both are below!
