Mermaid Cami

**Mermaid Cami** **About** Inspired by summer days at the beach, girls run freely along the shore, bandanas loosely knotted over bikinis still flecked with sea foam. A fitted, waist shaping cami with beads, worked flat with increases, then joined in the round to continue shaping, followed by the shell stitch trim, an i-cord bind off.
