This has been a quiet background knit for a few weeks. It’s the Ripple Bralette by Jessie Mae Martinson and it’s all over Instagram right now. How could I not cast one on?
This project uses less than a single skein of sock yarn. I’m using some Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere in the color Tucson. I think such a lovely little bralette deserves to be super soft as well. I was worried about being in between sizes, so I cast on a number between the small and medium sizes because I couldn’t choose. I think it will work out well. I’m almost to the section with the cups, where it will start looking like an actual bra.
I love how much body positivity is happening with the finished pics of this bra on Instagram. I’m not sure how brave I’ll be when it comes time for the finished pics, but we will see! If this is as beautiful and comfortable as I anticipate, I will likely make a few more.
I have so many small projects like this that haven’t made it to the blog, and two larger ones that I cast on this Saturday. More info to come soon!
I’ve been seeing that pattern everywhere and had it in my favorites. Today, I went ahead and bit the bullet by buying the pattern. How could I not support such a great movement? Plus, I love bralettes 🙂
I’ve been seeing this but haven’t cast on yet. I’d need to make it longer so it could help keep me warm In the winter
