This is a top down, circular knit, with fitted waist but extremely stretchy and accommodating fabric. The tension in the straps are tighter than the body tension, worked on 9mm and 12mm needles. The fabric is steam pressed in final finishing to reduce bulk and enhance stretch. Darn Good Yarns Reclaimed Sari Silk and Chiffon Ribbons are recommended, keeping in mind the thicker yarns with shorter yardages are more suitable in the waist or hips.
