This deceptively simple camisole hides a sexy little secret. The sweetheart neckline gives a hint, but the low scooped back screams “siren”. Wear it under a suit jacket to add interest or pair with something slinky for a night out on the town. With feminine details and simple construction, this will be a knit to reach for again and again.

Pattern Includes: schematic, and chart for lace border.
Stitches Used: knit, purl, slipped stitches with yarn in front and with yarn in back, k2tog, p2tog, yo, ssk, m1, p2tog through the back loop.

Other Details: The body begins with a provisional cast on and is knit in the round from bottom edge to bind off for back, then worked flat. The provisionally cast on stitches are then picked up, and lace edging is knit onto bottom of camisole at a right angle, simultaneously binding off body stitches and creating the border.
