Sugarboo Bralette Knitting Pattern
Digital File available in English
Danish, Finnish, French, German, Spanish available here
Sugarboo Bralette is a cashmere top created using aran weight yarn. It is extremely soft and comfortable to wear close to the skin. Perfect for wearing under garments and cardigans in the winter. It is constructed from the top down giving it an advantage for adjusting the length of the body and straps so it fits your body just the way you like it. Stockinette stitch is used for the main part of the pattern and lifted increases are used in combination of stitches to create the almost perfect edging around front cups and back triangles. Please read the pattern all the way through before you begin.
Sizes
Bust circumference of the finished bralette
XXXS 55, (XXS 60), XS 65, (S 70), M 80, (L 85), XL 95, (2XL 100), 3XL 110, (4XL 120), 5XL 130, cm.
Approximately XXXS 21½”, (XXS 23½”), XS 25½”, (S 27½”), M 31½”, (L 33½”), XL 37½”, (2XL 39½”), 3XL 43”, (4XL 47”), 5XL 51”.
Choosing a size
Please keep in mind that this is a knit garment and it will not provide the support similar to a regular bra, especially if you are blessed with a larger bosom. To choose a size, measure your bust circumference, then subtract the amount of negative ease suggested for your size below, choose a size that is closest to the number you got.
Sizes XXXS to M
For a fitted bralette choose a size that is 20 - 25 cm / 8” – 10” less than your actual bust circumference. For example, if your actual bust circumference is 93 cm / 36½”, you should knit a size S 70 cm / S 27½”.
Sizes L to 2XL
For a fitted bralette choose a size that is 20 - 30 cm / 8” – 12” less than your actual bust circumference. For example, if your actual bust circumference is 103 cm / 40½”, you should knit a size M 80 cm / M 31½”.
Sizes 3XL to 5XL
For a fitted bralette choose a size that is 30 - 35 cm / 12” – 14” less than your actual bust circumference. For example, if your actual bust circumference is 133 cm / 52½”, you should knit a size 2XL 100 cm / 2XL 39½”.
Gauge
For the main body 16 stitches by 23 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4” x 4” using size US 8 / 5.00 mm needles in stockinette stitch after washing and blocking.
For the ribbing aim for 21 to 24 stitches using size US 6 / 4.00 mm needles in rib stitch after washing and blocking.
If you obtain gauge for the main body with a different size needle, needle size for the ribbing should be one millimeter (two US sizes) smaller than the main body.
Gauge is important, you will need to check it periodically as knitters tend to knit differently when knitting flat and knitting in the round.
Yarn
Sugarboo Bralette is worked using aran weight yarn, you will need approximately 100, (100), 100, (100), 150, (150), 150, (150), 200, (200), 200, grams of Clinton Hill Cashmere “Bespoke” cashmere, 50 grams = 90 meters / 99 yards.
Yarn alternative
Cardiff Cashmere “Large” 100% cashmere.
Purl Soho “Campo” 50% wool, 50% organic cotton.
Wool And The Gang “Billie Jean” 100% upcycled denim.
Suggested needles
US 8 / 5.00 mm 16”- 32” / 41 - 61cm circular knitting needles or needles to obtain gauge, for the main body +
US 6 / 4.00 mm 16” - 24” / 41 - 61 cm circular knitting needles for the ribbing +
US 6 / 4.00 mm double pointed needles for the i-cord straps.
Other materials and notions
One stitch marker
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Scrap yarn or stitch holders
Elastic sewing thread, I highly suggest using this thread because ribbing will stretch after use.
