It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a young lady dispossessed by calamity of her maid, must be in want of a Utility Corset…

The Utility Corset is inspired by handymen’s utility belts – deceptively simple in construction, easy to put on, and with lots of hidden pockets and storage loops. Ideal for the post-apocalyptic heroine who needs to keep her equipment to hand and her hands free!

This pattern is in the book Doomsday Knits, which is currently available at cooperativepress.com, as well as here on Ravelry.
