Silk Corset Pattern
A pattern to knit a stunning and sexy corset top with a flattering fit and flared lace pattern at the hips. This top looks great on everyone!!
Knit from the top down, the technique to make the lace edging is quite simple. Make this as long or as short as you like. Buttonholes may be worked, or just sew the fronts together and sew buttons on top and pull the top over the head!
Can be worn on or off the shoulder, optional sleeve pattern included.
