Using an easy-to-remember chevron stitch pattern in two colors, the Salty Waves pullover is a slightly cropped, boxy top that perfectly complements this fall’s high-waisted trend. It pairs nicely with either sundresses or trousers and is an excellent choice to wear for an autumn seashore picnic or boat ride.

CONSTRUCTION
The sweater is worked from the bottom up in the round to the underarms, and then the front and back are finished separately. The shoulders are joined with a 3-needle bind off. The sleeves are worked from the armholes down to the cuffs in the round. To customize the body length to the underarms, add or subtract rounds in a multiple of four. To customize the length of the sleeves, add or subtract an even number of rounds while working the decrease shaping.
