SeaGlass Bodice

I made this for My first experiment knitting without a pattern

    About

    I have hand knit my Sea Glass corset bodice in a one of a kind, hand dyed yarn. The Merino Wool yarn shades from soft cream into Aqua Marine with hints of blue, tan and black. It reminds me of tumbled beach glass. The bodice is knit sideways in a lacey leaf pattern, with ribbing at the underarms for additional ease at the bust and sides to create figure flattering shape. Vintage Czech glass buttons close the center front. My challenge was to knit by measure, a figure fitting bodice without seams to resemble a vintage corset.

      Holly, this is absolutely gorgeous! You certainly achieved your goal. I'll watch for the printed pattern - or I may attempt to follow the description of your instructions :-). The buttons are beautiful, too. WendyHT

      I have created Sea glass from notes and don't have a formal pattern. Im not sure how I would publish and make it available for graded sizes?
