Feel like a star in this close fitting cami with bead accents. Perfectly feminine, this sweet little piece will fit nicely into any wardrobe, and look great in almost any color.
Worked from the bottom up, beads are added as you go by slipping them onto a crochet hook, then onto the stitch. A panel of lace runs up both back and front. Waist shaping gives this cami a flattering fit.
The moss stitch trims along the armholes are worked at the same time as the armhole shaping. When the front neck and armhole shaping are complete, work each strap for the length necessary to reach the top edge of the back. A band of moss stitch edges the front neck.
