Vintage Cable Braid Camisole Top by Knitty Kitty Designs
What is Being Made
The Vintage Cable Braid Camisole Top is a sexy, fitted knitted camisole designed by Lisa Roberts and available from Knitty Kitty Designs. This downloadable PDF pattern is written for women's sizes XS through XL, with finished bust measurements ranging from 30 inches (XS) to 38 inches (XL). The camisole features a distinctive vintage aesthetic and is part of a coordinated collection that includes matching shorts, leggings, and leg warmers available for separate purchase.
Techniques and Construction
This intermediate-level knitting project requires knowledge of fundamental stitch techniques including increases, decreases, and cable braids. The pattern incorporates cable braid as a primary design element, which creates the vintage visual appeal of the garment. Knitters will need to be comfortable reading stitch charts for multiple cables, making this an ideal project for those with intermediate knitting experience who want to develop or refine their cable-working skills. The fitted silhouette requires precise shaping through strategic increases and decreases to achieve the proper underbust measurements (ranging from 25-26 inches in XS to 33-34 inches in XL).
Stitches Used
The pattern centers on cable braid stitches as the primary decorative element. Knitters will employ standard increases and decreases throughout the construction to shape the garment and achieve the fitted camisole silhouette. The use of stitch charts for cable work allows for precise pattern placement and multiple cable variations across the design.
Materials
This pattern calls for Cascade Yarns Fixation in a DK weight yarn. The DK weight classification makes this an accessible yarn choice for creating a lightweight, drape-friendly camisole suitable for layering or wearing as a standalone piece. The specific yarn recommendation ensures that finished measurements and garment drape will match the designer's intended finished product.
