Keyhole cut out bra

A wardrobe staple with graphic lines. An easy to knit & easy to wear basic with a deep keyhole neckline, an open back & a hint of 70s flair.

This soft cup bra is knit in Contrepoint® N.1 in moss/seed stitch and comes in 3 tailored variations, for smaller, medium, and fuller busts, offering custom support without compromising on comfort.

No more cups that cut in or gape: each version is designed with a carefully shaped neckline that follows the natural curve of the bust. The underbust band offers gentle lift, while the crossed straps evenly distribute weight and tension.

Thanks to the dense yet silky moss/seed stitch, it’s naturally opaque and smoothing. No padding or lining needed.

Easy-level project: a relaxed, flowing pattern with a perfectly symmetrical construction—ideal for unwinding while refining your technique.
Best enjoyed in a hammock, on the beach, or poolside with your yarn.

Sizes: This design is available from XS to XL. Our tutorial was developed in 3 variations to offer the right balance of support and coverage for smaller, medium and fuller busts.

A simple underbust measurement (cm/inches), paired with the references opposite, will help you find the right fit:

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.
