Sweet Nothings Camisole

***ABOUT:*** Just a sweet little thing! This flirty camisole includes an optional ribbon detail under the bust, and is worked from the top-down. This is a beginner-friendly design that uses minimal techniques, relying on a little bit of negative ease and the super-stretchy 2x2 ribbing to follow your curves. The pattern comes with suggestions on how to customize it for your own fit and bust, including optional short-row bust darts, for intermediate or more ambitious knitters looking for the perfect fit. ***GAUGE:*** 20st & 30 rows in 4" on US 5 (3.75mm) needles ***YARN:*** DROPS Cotton-Merino (120 yards / 50 grams; 50% cotton, 50% superwash merino) Sizes 1; 2; 3; 4 [5; 6; 7; 8] will need approximately 2.5; 3; 3.5; 4 [5; 6; 6.5; 7.5] balls of yarn, or 300; 360; 420; 480 [600; 720; 780; 900] yards / 275; 330; 385; 440 [550; 660; 715; 825] meters ***SIZES & FIT:*** Sizes 1; 2; 3; 4 [5; 6; 7; 8] are designed to be worn with 2” - 5.5” (5 - 14 cm) of negative ease at the bust for a snug fit.
