Ravelry: Lilli Camisole
This pattern can be added to your Ravelry library after purchase. You can find this option in your customer account under Orders.
Description
The Lilli Camisole is knitted seamlessly from the top down. First, stitches for the front strap are provisionally cast on. The left and right front parts are knitted separately.
The back part is worked in the same way. The front part is then joined with the back part and knitted in the round. The body is knitted to the desired length. Optionally, waist shaping can be added. Finally, a ribbed band or an I-cord bind-off is knitted.
The straps are worked in double knitting at the end and then joined with the back. This allows the fit of the top to be adjusted to personal preference.
A lace pattern, resembling many small butterflies, is knitted over the entire camisole. Additionally, a small cable pattern is worked in the center front.
To knit this project, you must follow charts for the respective size.

Sizes :
1 (2; 3 ; 4) (5; 6 ; 7) 8
For a bust measurement of:
81 (85; 89; 94) (102; 108; 116) 124 cm
[31.9 (33.5; 35.0; 37.0) (40.2; 42.5; 45.7) 48.8 in]
Bust measurement of the finished top:
73 (78; 82; 87) (95; 101; 109) 117 cm
[28.7 (30.7; 32.3; 34.3) (37.4; 39.8; 42.9) 46.1 in]
Including a negative ease of 7 cm [2.8 in].
Choose the size that is closest to your bust measurement minus 7 cm [2.8 in]. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one.
Example: If your bust measurement is 90 cm [35.4 in], then knit a size 3, as 90 minus 7 equals 83 and is closest to size 3 with 82 cm [32.3 in].
