Allure Cami is a minimalistic top created using fingering weight cashmere and silk blend yarn. It is extremely soft and comfortable to wear close to the skin. Perfect for wearing under cardigans in the winter or linen shirts in the summer. It is constructed from the top down giving it an advantage for adjusting the length of the body and straps so it fits your body just the way you like it. Stockinette stitch is used throughout the pattern and lifted increases are used in combination of stitches to create the perfect edging around front cups and back triangles. Cami is meant to be worn with 0 to 3 cm (0 to 1”) of positive ease, choose a size closest to your bust circumference.
