Note: I was unable to find testers for the sizes 2XL to 5XL, if you fall into this category and you would like to knit this project send me an e-mail or a message and I will send the pattern for free if you are willing to give feedback on it. The calculations are included in the pattern for these sizes.

The camisole is worked in the round from the bottom up. The length is easily customizable as there are measurements provided for each size and part of the camisole so you can make it longer or shorter as you desire. You can also customize how much cleavage you want to show by making the straps longer or shorter (Keep in mind if you shorten the straps, you might need to lengthen the body and vice-versa).

Even though it’s rib, it has minimal purling (I know that some of you do not like purling).

The sample is shown in Size S on a 89 cm / 35” bust with no ease. I recommended sizing down instead of up if you are between sizes.
