Wavelette is a lovely layering piece with its lace front and delicate rolled hems. Fingering-weight yarn and a loose gauge make this light as air and quicker to knit than you might think.

Crest of the Wave (provided in both chart and written form), a variation on the classic Shetland Old Shale pattern, is easy to work and so gratifying with lacy bits and waves of double-strands of pearls (purls, really). This sweater is perfect for strolling on the beach or strutting out to dinner.

What you’ll love about knitting Wavelette:

• Worked in the round from the bottom up
• Lace front provides knitterly interest without being too difficult
• Very little finishing work

What you’ll love about wearing Wavelette:

• Fingering weight yarn makes this a lightweight, virtually year-round sweater depending upon what you layer beneath it
• Delicate rolled hems at collar and cuff enhance the elegance of this sweater
• Show-stopping lace panel in front makes this sweater truly special
