The corset has been used for centuries as an undergarment, and the historic practice of accentuating the feminine waist has made a comeback, this time as outerwear. Like the corsets shown on the runways, this corset is meant to be worn much like a belt, over a tailored shirt or tank top.
This corset is crocheted over boning by using a mix of standard and Tunisian crochet techniques. The rows of Tunisian Crochet serve to provide firm structure, while the rows of standard crochet provide textural counterpoint, openness and ventilation.
Ten waist sizes from 24 through 42 inches in 2inch increments. The yarn called for is Berroco Suede, but you can use any smooth, worsted weight yarn that can match the knitting gauge of 19 st = 4 inches. Takes between 240-360 yards.
