A couple years ago I knit my first bralette, and I love them so much for comfort as a bottom layer or as loungewear.
The Trinity Bellwoods Knit Bralette from Patons matches a knit cardigan pattern of theirs, but of course you don’t have to make a matched set.
They both use brioche stitch and twisted ribbing. The bralette has I-cord straps and is worked partly in the round and partly flat. The projects are designed by Katherine Poole-Fournier.
This is a great introduction to brioche if you’ve never knit it before, or if you already have those skills it should be a quick and easy project to get your summer knitting off to a good start.
