The tumbling, rippling lapels of this soft unstructured jacket echo the undulations of water, hence its name. Made in a blended yarn of baby alpaca and silk, the jacket is so warming and enveloping that you simply will not ever want to take it off. Worked in stocking stitch, with moss stitch borders for just a hint of texture, this garment only needs minimal shaping so is a breeze to make. And the roomy patch pockets are the perfect hiding place for indulgent treats. Size To fit bust 81 86 92 97 102 107 112 117 cm 32 34 36 38 40 42 44 46 in Finished measurements
