Beginner level - Yarn Contrepoint N.1

Ultra graphic versatile version of our bandeau top with an extra touch of upcycling and 2 ways to assemble it.

Description

DESCRIPTION

A beachwear icon, the classic bandeau with its rigid “U”-shaped ring, designed to gather the fabric and draw the eye to the neckline, is reimagined here in knit.

No metal, no stiffness: just softness, stretch, and comfort. Knit in Contrepoint® N.1 using garter stitch, the fabric stretches both vertically and horizontally. It offers natural support without compression. Perfect for small to medium busts. A version with more coverage is available for fuller busts.

The central ring is fully knitted and ready to be customized, with contrast yarn, leftover swatches, or even a crochet finish. It creates a gentle curve at the center front, naturally enhancing the bust.

No underwire, no boning, no back closure. Just a fluid, silky-soft knit that covers without adding bulk.
No need for pads or lining.

Beginner-level project:

Super detailed pattern with step-by-step instructions to guide you through, smoothly and confidently.
Covers all 3 essential knitting techniques: cast on, knit, and bind off.
Seamless design = super easy finishing

Ideal for beginners and relaxed weekend knitters.

CARE

Hand washing is recommended.

As with any knitted piece, we recommend washing your garment gently by hand in lukewarm water, using a mild detergent free from bleaching agents. Do not soak.

To remove excess water, press gently between two towels without wringing or twisting. Lay flat to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight and any heat source (radiators, tumble dryers, etc.).

Machine washing is possible on a delicate cycle only (maximum 30°C / 86°F, low spin).

Do not tumble dry, dry clean or iron.
