The Seashore Cami is half of a summer twinset. Knit and wear it on its own or with the Seashore Jacket. Either way, you’ll enjoy long walks in nature, on the beach, or otherwise. Breezy diamond eyelet panes decorate this delicate spaghetti strap piece.

This cami’s perfectly proportioned armhole and neck shaping give good bra coverage and is easy to wear and style. It features a rounded v-neck in the front, and a higher v-neck in the back. The pattern also features optional bust darts for those who need a little extra room.

Once finished, you’ll have a sophisticated piece to wear casually as loungewear, or dressed up for going out and about.

This pattern is part of the Seashore Twin Set. You can find its jacket counterpart here.

Construction Notes

• This pattern is knit bottom up in one piece, separated for front and back, and then joined again with Three Needle Bind-Off. Then, it’s finished with polished I-cord edges along the armhole and neckline.

• Optional bust darts come in 4 sizes to add 1-5” / 2.5-12.5 cm vertically. Due to the stitch pattern repeat, these do not come in the regular 1” / 2.5 cm increments of other Aimee Sher patterns, so select your size carefully.

• This is a close-fitting, cropped garment. If you are lengthening, you will need to add width to the front and back to accommodate hips. I recommend the underarm area where there is already a Stockinette panel.
