With its charming lace and buttoned back, exceptional construction, flattering trapeze-shaped front and spaghetti straps, Filigree Cami is beyond doubt a piece of art in an everyday wardrobe. It is a unique piece of garment, created to impress and to be admired. And at the same time, thanks to its relaxed and comfortable shape and lightness, this camisole is a wonderful summer outfit.
Filigree Cami is worked bottom-up and sideways. It starts with two lace back panels, then the stitches are placed on holder, the bottom edges are finished with I-Cord and the back pieces are put aside for later. The front piece is worked from the bottom straight to the underarm where the decreasing starts to shape the top part of the front. The straps are made by using front’s edge stitches and after reaching the correct length, joined with the back stitches using I-Cord Bind Off. Then the stitches for sides are picked up along the front sides, worked sideways and after decreasing, sewn on to the back panels.
Filigree Cami is part of Sydney Summer Knits ebook. See the ebook preview: Booklet
About the ebook: Sydney Summer Knits collection contains four brand-new, unique summer patterns inspired by my new home – Sydney. This collection is my tribute to its inspiring beauty. You will find here three tops and one dress, each design mirroring a different feature of the city. All the designs are created in the style closest to my heart, which I dare to name modern romanticism. The designs are made using a variety of techniques. You will work from the bottom up, top-down and sideways, and use both basic and sophisticated stitch patterns.
The book also includes short articles about the city and my inspirations, recommended places, reviews of the chosen yarns, refined lists of yarn substitutions, and knitting tips.
