Acorn Camisole Knitting Pattern Download

Description

Shirley Paden blends an intricate, traditional lace pattern with a contemporary silhouette for a garment that is both timeless and trend-conscious. The decreases and increases worked in the wavy stitch pattern form distinct scallops at the lower edge. The front is shaped into a modified bra top; the back is bound off straight across with a bit of elastic thread that helps to keep the camisole comfortably fitted.
