About the pattern
The Céu Camisole is a simple top-down garment, quickly knit in a DK weight and perfect for (almost) every knitter, from a beginner starting on their first garments to an intermediate knitter looking for a quick, mindless, no-fuss and reversible top. You will start by knitting up the round neck back, joining both back shoulders and building the back until the armhole. Then, picking up stitches for the front shoulders to make the boat neck front and knitting until the armhole. After that, you will join the top in the round, knitting until you are satisfied with its length. The neck and armhole edges of the camisole are finished with a small, almost unnoticeable i-cord.

Gauge
20 sts x 28 r = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette st

Needles
4.5 mm circular needle in 60 cm cable
4 mm circular needle (cable length doesn’t matter)

Size
The top measures 80 cm at the bust. It was knit for a 98 cm bust, however, depending on the intended negative ease, should fit anywhere from a 80 to a 105 cm bust.

Yarn
I used exactly 3 skeins (150 g = 330 m) of Lana Grossa Dodici in the colour 12. This is a discontinued yarn. Any DK yarn that fits the gauge should work well for this project, keeping in mind that a heavily-spun 100% cotton yarn will result in a heavier top.
