This pretty and practical camisole top is made from King Cole Bamboo Cotton DK, a lightweight yarn with a soft sheen to add sophistication and a hint of coziness to ward off those evening breezes. Even better, it’s completely machine-washable, so you can pop it into your suitcase safe in the knowledge that it’ll look as good as new all through your stay.

This is a fairly advanced project because you have to be able to crochet as well as knit. Having said that, if you’ve got some experience with both crafts, you’ll be making your own camisole in no time! This is a quick and fun project that takes advantage of the generous yardage if King Cole Bamboo Cotton - the smallest size takes just three 100g balls to make!
