A classic, minimal cami with elegant finishing details. A hybrid of my Tonight Top & Calm Down Sweater patterns.

The Calm Night cami features a carefully shaped V neck, with varying rates of increases to create the perfect neck depth and slope. This is finished with a double knit edging, as are the armholes for a clean finish.

Construction: the Calm Night Cami is worked seamlessly from the top down. It begins by casting on across the shoulders and working back and forth in rows on the upper back down
to the armholes. The back stitches are then set aside to work the front. Stitches are picked up across each shoulder separately, the upper fronts are shaped with increases, then the fronts are joined together at the base of the V-neck. The pattern includes a tick sheet for keeping track of armhole and neck increases.

The main body is worked in one piece from the armholes down to the hem, working in rounds.

Optional bust darts are included for fuller busts.

The armhole edgings and neckband are worked in applied double knitting for a smooth, minimal edging. Short rows are used to curve the edgings around the underarm and back neck.

The Calm Night cami is #SizeInclusive to a bust of 62”.
