Let the summer times roll. This Braided Bralette is just as much fun to knit in the summer as it is to wear. Though it says “bralette” in the title, don’t be deceived – this top can also be the cutest spaghetti strap cami that is perfect to wear with or without a bra.

Fun and Stylish

This is an EXTREMELY well-written pattern. I commend Knitatude on the extensive size options AND the knitting math that goes with it. I just finished my Braided Bralette and it came out wonderfully. The fit is perfect. I had two questions and reached out to her and she responded in just a few hours. You can tell how proud she is of her creations and every positive review and comment solidifies her talents and dedicated fan base.
I made my body in a size 1 and did the cups in size 2. The patterns explains various adjustments and even provides examples. I liked making this, even though, it took me a while to complete. I put a lot of care into swatching to make sure the sizing was right. Cables do take time, but I love the look. Thank you, Chantal. I can’t wait to try another pattern.

Super cute!

Love this summery tank top. I especially like the little cable detail which makes this top extra fun!

LOVE IT!!!

I fell in love with this pattern from the first minute I saw it and it is so gorgeous! I love Knitatude's patterns and she works so hard to make sure that designs flatter all body types! Instructions are easy to follow, though I did have a bit of trouble figuring out my sizing. But Knitatude has a bunch of great Instagram videos to walk you through taking bust measurements and choosing/switching sizes. I haven't finished it yet but I already know that this is going to become a closet staple!

Obsessed!

I love knitatude patterns and this one doesn't disappoint. Love how clear the pattern is for getting your perfect fit and how to modify to your body/ preference. Will be making in several colors.
