I was able to implement a child theme, but it doesn't go as smoothly with
Evolve as it does with most themes.  The theme CSS includes:

/*
 Theme Name:   Evolve Child
 Theme URI:    http://example.com/twenty-fourteen-child/
 Description:  Twenty Fourteen Child Theme
 Author:       John Doe
 Author URI:   http://example.com
 Template:     evolve-child
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout,
accessibility-ready
 Text Domain:  evolve-child
*/

@import url("../evolve/style.css");

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */


After this, you'll need to copy the contents of
wp-content/themes/evolve/library/media into evolve-child

This theme doesn't take well to having a child created for it, the above is
a workaround.  When you update evolve you'll simply have to copy the
contents of wp-content/themes/evolve/library/media into evolve-child again
to ensure any updates to CSS/JavaScript take properly.  A better
implementation would have been possible if Evolve hadn't used constants to
define paths to its resources; the alternative would have been to allow
child themes to define paths back to the main theme for JavaScript and CSS
media libraries.

Let me know if you have any questions.
