Knitted Camisole
Finally managed to finish this top and I think it turned out pretty nice. This shape of top is my favourite to wear anyways so it’s nice to have one I’ve made myself also.
The pattern is called Camisole No.5 from My Favourite Things Knitwear, a Danish designer.
I enjoyed knitting this so much and learned a couple new techniques while at it, the double knitted armhole edges, and kitchener stitch bind off for the neckline. This kind of finishing touches make a huge difference and I think the piece ends up looking way more professional instead of crafty, if you know what I mean.
I happened to have 2 and maybe a quarter skeins of Sandnes Garn’s Sunday yarn and I wanted a crop top, so I gambled and I had just enough to finish. The pattern called for 3mm cable needles but I only had 2,75mm ones, but I like a tight knit anyways. After joining the work in the round and knitting just past the boobs, I changed into 2mm needles to make sure the body stays tighter better without doing decreases. You can barely see the difference but I’m sure it was a good choice in the long run.
I was smart-from-afar (a Finnish idiom that doesn’t translate perfectly) and weaved in most of the yarn ends while at it, so I only had to do minimal finishing at the end. I should probably wash and block this knit but I’m too lazy for that, I want to wear it now, not tomorrow, and I already have plans and materials for my next big knit.
It's good to see you! you haven't posted in week since you said you got the virus. I was getting worried
Glad to hear I’ve been missed. I pretty much slept for a week and really could not make myself use any brain power to do anything really, let alone post. I think I’m finally back, did I miss anything?
I'm glad you are back and that your (cute) back is back as well 😎
Turned out pretty nice? No way! This turned out pretty great! This is pretty impressive and I must commend the effort. Wow.
Took some time, effort and learning but it was very rewarding :) Thanks!
Absolutely rewarding. You did great. Well done. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
very nice!

Models, takes the photos herself and makes her own clothing.
Haha, you make it sound like more than it is. ”Occasionally” would be more accurate :)
I trust that your readers know you didn't make your jeans and many other items all by yourself. :)
You are putting a lot of trust into people’s abilies to use their brains 😝
WOW! not a simply little scarf! I love the shoulder/sleeve opening. Not sure what kind of stich, but it's cool. Really finishes the top off.
I actually hate making scarfs, I don’t wear many and it’s incredibly boring 😅 I think they are called double knitted edges and it’s a game changer!
No matter the name, it finishes that top off perfectly
This is awesome. I like the design of the top plus the earthy color. IT suits you very nicely #eveuncovered. 😊
The designer deserves most of the credit :)
But without the knitters who can interpret those patterns, it will just remain a pattern. Still you deserve the praises. 🥰
Wow! You've done a great job @eveuncovered this is so looking great on you, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
You are welcome dear, keep up the great work @eveuncovered
You don't have to ask is is beautiful, it looks so beautiful. The top shape you well and you have done a great job here
I was so happy to find a pattern for such a nice top and be able to execute it well :)
This is just perfection! !CTP
I am pretty pleased myself, thanks! :)
I love how it turned out and you're right about it having a more professional finish. The top looks really cute.
I love it! I like to aim for that finished rather than crafty look too.
