This pullover is worked from the bottom up in two parts, front and back. These are then crocheted together at the shoulders and sides, and the neckline and arm borders are added. The main stitch used is an angled block – which is very similar to a c2c stitch but worked in straight rows. It uses chain and double crochet stitches to create the block, and full instructions are given for this easy, beginner friendly stitch. Despite the simplicity of the stitch, the overall look is one of flattering horizontal lines, which seem to ripple as the garment moves, reminiscent of a calm sea under a gentle breeze. The garment is styled as gender neutral, and suitable for people of all pronouns. It is a versatile pullover, suitable for dressing up as formal workwear or teaming with jeans for a casual look.
