Bandeau top tutorial

A wardrobe staple with graphic lines. An easy to knit & easy to wear basic.

No wires, no seams, no clasps, this oh-so comfortable bandeau bra is made from a soft and sculpting fabric that gently hugs the body without constriction.

Knit in Contrepoint® N.1, it offers natural support without compression — perfect for small to medium busts. A more structured version is available for fuller figures.
Stretchy both vertically and horizontally thanks to garter stitch, it leaves no marks, no creases, and moves with you.

Wear this versatile swimsuit pool to party (think dressing up with a playful twist) or wear it solo as a swim top or a crop top in the sun.

Feeling playful? It’s easy to customize with straps, stripes or your own handmade touches.

Beginner-level project, perfect for a quick and cool knitting journey: 

• Super detailed pattern with step-by-step instructions.
• Covers all 4 essential knitting techniques: cast on, knit, purl, and bind off.
• Seamless design = super easy finishing

Ideal for beginners and relaxed weekend knitters.

HANDWASHING

You've just finished your work. To care for it, wash by hand and spin between 2 towels to remove excess moisture, then leave to air dry.

MACHINE WASHING

When machine-washing, it's best to use a washing bag to avoid deforming the mesh or breaking the textile fibers. We recommend the GUPPYFRIEND® bag, a patented solution that filters the microfibers released by garments during washing.
