_____________________
The cables and lace in this yoke remind me of waves and seaweed; it’s also a sweater I love to wear after wild swimming (hence the name)

The sweater is worked from the top down - starting with a roll neck, followed by short rows for a good fit, and then the lace/cable yoke is worked from a chart, before splitting for body and sleeves.

Please note that the yoke is CHARTED ONLY.

You will use 800-1000m depending on the size and sleeve/body lengths you work - If you want longer sleeves or body than allowed for (see schematic) be sure to allow extra yarn on top of that.
