Reminiscent of deep blue, choppy waves and frothy whitecaps on a crisp New England day, this piece features an almost net-like open lace chevron motif on an ample canvas. Knitted from cuff to cuff in two pieces, the extra-wide neck and roomy body are stabilized with extra-fitted sleeves, a few seams, and a picked-up neck trim. The use of larger needles helps to accentuate Tern’s gorgeous drape.
