Product Description
The perfect layering pieces, you’ll feel glamorous whenever you wear this pair. Wear them layered as shown, or each separately. You’ll love the silky feel of the Milk yarn by BellaTrista, and the great put-up means you won’t have to break the bank to enjoy the extravagantly luxurious feel. The camisole is worked in two pieces, beginning with the lower body which is worked in the round. The yoke is worked back and forth, then joined to the lower body using three-needle bind-off, and overlapping the front edges of the front to form a faux wrap. The edgings and shoulder straps are a few rows of garter. The body of the cardigan is worked back and forth in one piece to the armholes, then divided to work the fronts and back separately. The sleeves are worked flat to make it easier to work without interrupting your rhythm over the lace pattern.
Morning Glory Cami & Cardigan by Therese Chynoweth
Project Overview
The Morning Glory Cami & Cardigan is an intermediate-level knitting pattern that includes two coordinating pieces: a close-fitting camisole and a standard-fitting cardigan. This downloadable PDF pattern from independent designer Therese Chynoweth offers a versatile wardrobe combination suitable for multiple seasons and occasions. The set is available in six sizes ranging from XS to 2XL, with the pattern shown in size Small.
Camisole Details
The camisole component features a close-fitting silhouette designed to be worn as a standalone piece or layered under the coordinating cardigan. The finished bust measurements range from 30½ inches (77.5 cm) in XS to 52¾ inches (134 cm) in 2XL, with length measurements varying from 23 inches (58.5 cm) to 25¼ inches (64 cm) depending on size. Knitters should select a camisole size with finished bust measurements 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) larger than their actual bust measurement for the intended close fit.
Cardigan Details
The cardigan is constructed with a standard fitting that pairs perfectly with the camisole. Finished bust measurements span from 32½ inches (82.5 cm) in XS to 53 inches (134.5 cm) in 2XL, featuring a ¾-inch (2 cm) overlap at the front closure. The cardigan length ranges from 17½ inches (44.5 cm) to 20 inches (51 cm) across the size range. For proper fit, select a cardigan size with finished bust measurements 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) larger than your actual bust measurement.
Yarn and Materials
This pattern is designed for DK weight yarn (Light #3), a versatile yarn weight that creates a refined drape suitable for fitted garments. The sample shown features Bellatrista Milk, a luxurious yarn composed of 100% milk protein fiber, offering approximately 218 yards (200 meters) per 3½ ounce (100 gram) hank. The pictured colorway is Shale. DK weight yarn provides excellent stitch definition and is ideal for creating the fitted shaping and detailed stitch patterns characteristic of this design.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
As an intermediate-level pattern, the Morning Glory Cami & Cardigan incorporates standard knitting techniques appropriate for knitters with foundational skills and experience working with shaping and garment construction. The pattern instructions are written for the smallest size (XS) with larger sizes provided in parentheses throughout, a common convention that allows single pattern documents to accommodate multiple sizes. Where only one number appears without size variations, that measurement or instruction applies uniformly across all six sizes.
Pattern Format and Instructions
This is a downloadable PDF pattern, making it immediately accessible for digital viewing, printing, or tablet reference while working. The pattern includes comprehensive sizing information, finished measurements for both garments, and detailed instructions suitable for intermediate knitters ready to tackle fitted garment construction with multiple pieces.
