Sweet Nothings Camisole

ABOUT: This is a beginner-friendly design that uses minimal techniques, relying on a little bit of negative ease and the super-stretchy 2x2 ribbing to follow your curves. The pattern comes with suggestions on how to customize it for your own fit and bust, including optional short-row bust darts, for intermediate or more ambitious knitters looking for the perfect fit.
