Juturna camisole
Juturna was the ancient Roman goddess of fountains, wells and springs.
The Juturna camisole is knitted seamlessly from the top down. It begins with the back piece, followed by the two front triangles. The pieces are then joined at the underarm, and the body is knitted in the round. There are two options for the body: a straight body with a folded hem or a peplum hem. The straps are worked as i-cords.
The Juturna camisole is best suited for cotton, viscose, or linen.blend yarns with plenty of drape. I recommend choosing a solid or slightly tonal colourways.
