Kieselguhr
This pattern is written to be slinky and form-fitting with a bit of negative ease. There is no waist or breast shaping. The tank is seamless with a drapey front and a small cable detail down each side.
The good news is that this is a DIY pattern! That means you get to use the yarn you want and your own personal measurements to make this just for you. The bad news is that there is a wee bit of math and measuring involved in this type of pattern. It’s not difficult. And, if you can’t find your calculator, you can always ask Google.com to do the math for you!
I’ve made this several times: in a worsted weight bamboo-wool, sock yarn, sport weight alpaca, and worsted weight linen. The yarn you use (and the gauge you use with the yarn) will determine just how drapey it is, so I recommend a gauge swatch if you haven’t used that yarn before.
