Tutorial Holly Bra by @Nakedknit

The Holly Bra is a minimal knitted bralette inspired by the clean lines of 90s swimwear.

Softly shaped cups follow the natural lines of the body, while the underbust band provides support and comfort. Slim straps and a low neckline keep the silhouette clean and refined.

Knitted in stockinette stitch with fine, highly elastic Contrepoint® Air N.2, the Holly Bra gently moulds to the body. The result is a smooth, lightweight fabric with a second-skin feel that retains its shape.

The pattern allows the Holly Bra to be adjusted to your own measurements and preferred fit.

The Holly Bra is knitted to your own measurements.

As a guide, yarn requirements for the top have been estimated based on the following bust measurements, taken around the fullest part of the bust:

• XS–S: 70–89 cm (27.6–35 in)
