The Ribbed Bra is a delicate knitted bra with a 3/2 rib knit pattern.

The stripes follow the natural curve of your bust in a simple and elegant way, and the curved, elastic shape is emphasized by the invisible finish on the band of the bra.

The Ribbed Bra is knitted based on your own measurements. This means that the cups will be knitted from the top down, so that you can try it on to see if the cups fit your bust in the way you would like them to.

Structure
The Ribbes Bra is knitted from the top down. You will start by knitting the left cup, followed by the right. When both cups are completed, you will knit them together and cast on sts for the band. Following this, you will knit the band in the round until it reaches the height you desire.

Yarn
The estimated amount of yarn is indicated based on the bra sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) XXXL.

The amount of yarn also depends on how you want the bra to sit and how long you want your straps to be. That’s why the amount of yarn is written with a reservation for fluctuation.

Our recommendation will always be that it’s better to buy one skein of yarn too much, rather than one too little. That way, you can make sure the color of the yarn is from the same batch. Most places will allow you to return unopened skeins.
