CLEO (EN)

Description

CLEO is a light and soft camisole, knitted with a plant-based yarn made of bamboo. The fabric is particularly fluid and silky, perfect for high temperatures.
CLEO is worked bottom-up in lace pattern, first in-the-round and then front and back are finished separately while making decreases for the underarm ease. CLEO has thin icord borders that extend into double spaghetti straps.

GAUGE
Knit flat on 3mm needles and measured after blocking:

Lace pattern: 32 sts x 44 rws = 10 x 10 cm (4×4 in)

Note : Cleo’s lace pattern tends to grow over large areas so I recommend making a big swatch (20×20 cm) for the measurements to be more accurate.
