Corset Pullover
The Corset Pullover pattern is designed for ladies who want to showcase their hourglass figure without the hassle of traditional waist shaping. This trendy pullover is incredibly stretchy and is intended to fit snugly against the body, providing both comfort and style. One of the unique features of this pattern is that there are no fixed sizes; the detailed instructions will guide you through the process of creating a custom fit tailored to your measurements.
To successfully knit the Corset Pullover, you should be familiar with essential techniques such as knitting and purling through the back loop, as well as knitting and purling two stitches together. Additionally, you will need to be able to read charts since this pattern does not offer line-by-line instructions for the stitch patterns. However, rest assured that no special knitting skills are required! The only additional technique you’ll learn is the i-cord bind-off, which beautifully imitates the piping found on traditional corsets. Complete step-by-step instructions for this technique are included.
The design features a stylish tube top that is knitted in the round for a seamless look. The sleeves of the Corset Pullover cleverly repeat one-fourth of the bodice, allowing for a cohesive finish once they are sewn in place. The eye-catching lace yoke is knitted on and offers flexibility—you can choose to work it in a contrasting color or a different yarn entirely to create a personalized touch. For best results, we recommend using laceweight or light fingering weight yarn to achieve the delicate texture that this pullover demands.
It’s important to note that while this garment is named a "Corset Pullover," it is not an actual corset. Instead, it is a stylish and comfortable pullover that lacks the constrictive bones or laces, and therefore does not provide a slimming effect. However, it makes for a fashionable corset cover, adding a layer of elegance to any outfit.
