The Vienna Camisole is knit top-down purely in stockinette using only one size needle and is entirely seamless. This camisole is designed to be light, thin, and airy, giving plenty of movement in a classic and feminine way. An important design note about this camisole is the long armhole depth and slight positive ease.

First the individual shoulder straps are worked for the front using Turkish Cast On or Provisional Cast On, and are worked back and forth. The neckline is formed before joining the two front panels together and then the armholes are shaped. The front panel piece is then placed on a stitch holder while the back shoulder straps are worked individually back and forth. Then the two back panels are joined together, and the armholes are shaped. The front and back pieces are then joined together. The rest of the body is worked in the round in stockinette and finished with a lovely i-cord bind off. Increases made throughout the camisole create a fine eyelet detail.
