The seawaves pullover is worked flat and bottom up using the feather and fan stitch. The backs and front are worked separately and then seamed together using a mattress stitch. Stitches are then picked up around the armhole and then knit in the round or using the magic loop technique. There are no decreases on the sleeve in order to give the seawaves pullover a wider more wavy look at the sleeves.

Because of the use of the feather and fan stitch the bottom of the pullover and the end of the sleeves creates a beautiful scalloped edge that resembles waves.

This pullover has 4” of positive ease.
