About
The solution to the single skein problem is here! :D

This pattern is a tight-fitting top that is knitted seamlessly top-down. Only 3 stitches are picked up, and only 6 stitches are gathered with Kitchener stitch. For this, you will get written instructions and some picture assistance.
Starting from the top back you knit upward to the straps (video instructions). The straps and triangle front pieces are knitted separately and since gathered with Kitchener stitch and continued with knitting in the round (picture assistance). After that, you knit until the desired length.

Size
XS, S, (M, L), XL, XXL. These sizes will fit a full bust circumference of 74, 84, (95, 105), 115, 125 cm / 29, 33, (37, 41), 45, 49 inches.
The fit is tight with a negative ease of 35 cm / 14 inches already included.
This means you measure your full bust circumference and pick the size that is closest to your number. No calculations needed - just pure knitting.

The Cami Bralette can either be knit in a long version to become a camisole or knit short to make it into a bralette. And since it’s knitted top-down you can just knit until you run out of yarn.

Sizes - how to get a looser fit
If you want a looser fit go up a size or alternatively change to a DK weight yarn.
Changing this will give you a negative ease of approx. 25 cm / 9.8 inches instead.

Needles
Two 3 mm (US 2½) circular needles - one of them in a length to knit in the round.

3mm (US 2½) DPNs

Gauge
10 cm x 10 cm (4’’ x 4 ‘’) =

Fingering weight yarn:
26 stitches x 35 rows in stockinette.
or
DK weight yarn:
22 sts x 31 rows in stockinette

The fingering weight yarn needs to be flexible enough to easily stretch to a gauge of 19 sts per 10 cm / 4 inches.

Yarn and yardage
1 skein or 400 meters (440 yds) of your favorite fingering or DK weight yarn.

Color
Unicolor or a hand-dyed yarn with little or no visible variation whether you knit short rows or in the round

If you have a significantly bigger full bust circumference than your below bust circumference, you might want to make your own alterations to increase below bust to make the ribbed waist section feel more snug.
