This bralette is knit from the bottom up with a 1 inch elastic band. First, the circumference is cast on and the bralette is knit in the round, folding the bottom to encase the elastic band. Next the back is cast off and shaped and then the front. When you knit the straps, it’s knit in the round and elastic is threaded through to create a scrunchie effect and add some support!
