A seaside promenade play on partial curves and unfinished works, these cables flow from a uniform front, grow into wrapping waves around the shoulder, and ripple down the back to nip in the waist.

Notes
• Cape is worked from the bottom up and shaped by decreasing the needle size.
• Shoulders are shaped by reducing the number of stitches to help hold the cape to the body, as well as by reduc- ing the top edge count to a narrow k2, p1 rib. Cape is not intended to meet over the bust or at hips.
• Rib used for gauge is k2, p1 3 times, k2, p2.
