Ilana Camisole is a fitted tank top with a deep V neckline at the front and back. It is designed with a crop length, but the camisole is worked top down and you can adjust the length as you wish. The front and back sections are worked separately to underarms, then all four pieces are joined in the round and worked together. The pattern suggests making decreases after the bust, but you can skip them if you prefer a looser fit. All increases and decreases are delicately built into the cable pattern to create the perfect look of the camisole. This camisole is bra-friendly, goes well with many outfits, and it is fun and quick to knit.

I hope you enjoy this pattern. Check this hashtag on Instagram to see the other projects: #Ilana_camisole
