Wavebreak is an oversized, drapey summer layer with a cropped body and voluminous sleeves with a simple lace stripe. Just as the waves break and fall away from shore, this light layer floats and skims over the body.

Wavebreak is knit top down with the front picked up and knit from the back shoulders and joined to knit in the round at the hem. The sleeves are picked up and knit inside out in the round.
