This bralette is knit from the bottom up with 6mm elastic band. First, the circumference is cast on and the bralette is knit in the round, folding the bottom to encase the elastic band. Next the back is cast off and shaped, then the armholes and then finally the front. The double knitting technique is used around the neckline.
