Seashell is the third sweater included in the Mystery Sweater Club and is designed to be a romantic summer top, perfect as meditative knit and for travel or on-the-beach knitting.
This is a cap-sleeved pullover seamlessly worked in the round from the top down, with two basic charts included.

All the sweaters in the Club are quite simple to do, highly customizable and easy to wear.

Materials
? Approx. 560 (620, 660, 710, 760, 810, 860, 920, 1020, 1130) yards/515 (570, 605, 650, 695, 740, 790, 845, 935, 1035) meters of lace or light fingering weight yarn.
About choosing yarn: the top is designed for lightweight yarns worked with large needles. For best results, I suggest a silk, linen or wool blend yarn that makes a nice fabric in a loose gauge. For my sample I used a 100% wool yarn (314 yards/287 meters per 50 gr) in a natural oatmeal shade.

? 20”/50cm or longer US2½/3mm circular needle.
? 32”/80cm or longer US4/3.5mm circular needle.
? 36”/90cm or longer US7/4.5mm circular needle or different size to obtain gauge.
? US4/3.5mm DPNs (optional, for sleeves).
Please note that I am a tight knitter, you might need to use a smaller needle size to achieve the correct gauge.
? 1 stitch marker.
? waste yarn or stitch holders.
? darning needle.
