Iris Camisole

The Iris Camisole is a boat neck cami with ruffle sleeves and a flared waist panel. It is knit from the top down with bust and underbust shaping and a horizontal i-cord to accentuate the waist panel. The camisole is reversible, with a keyhole detail on one side, and a plain stockinette panel on the other. The neckline is finished with i-cord edges and the sleeve ruffles are carefully shaped for a fun look and comfortable fit. ***Sizes***: 1, 2, 3, (4, 5, 6), 7, 8, 9, (10, 11, 12), 13, 14, 15, (16, 17, 18), additional options for made-to-measure and personalised underbust shaping. ***Measurements***: measurement charts can be found in the pattern pictures. ***Gauge***: 26 sts x 38 rows in stockinette on 3 mm (US 2½) needles in 10 cm (4 inches). ***Sizing guide***: the finished camisole is designed to have neutral ease at the shoulders and a positive ease of 0-5 cm (0-2 inches) around the bust and underbust. The pattern includes an additional spreadsheet to calculate stitch counts and increase/decrease rates for a fully made-to-measure version, as well as optional underbust shaping. When choosing a size for this pattern, the shoulder width is the most important measurement to ensure a correct placement of the ruffle sleeves. ***Yarn***: the original sample of the Iris camisole is knit in Woollentwine fibrestudio Nurture in colourway Liquorice (380 m/100 g or 415 yards/100 g). Since this is a limited-edition yarn, I also recommend the Knitting for Olive Merino or Cotton Merino (250 m/100 g or 275 yards /100 g) as an alternative. ***Yarn requirements (m)***: 700, 760, 820, (880, 920, 960), 1020, 1120, 1160, (1220, 1320, 1420), 1500, 1600, 1660, (1780, 1900, 1940) ***Yarn requirements (yards)***: 780, 840, 900, (980, 1020, 1060), 1120, 1240, 1280, (1340, 1460, 1560), 1660, 1760, 1820, (1960, 2080, 2140) ***Needles***: 3 mm (US 2½) circular needles (60, 80 or 100 cm length), 2.25 mm (US 1) circular needles (60 or 80 cm length) or needles required to achieve gauge. ***Other materials and notions***: stitch markers, waste yarn or spare cables to put stitches on hold, darning needle to weave in ends, 1.5 mm crochet hook, a 10 mm diameter button.
