The Foxy Bra is a simple and elegant bra.

The bra is knitted following an intuitive construction from the top down, which makes it easy to try on along ,the way and secure the best fit. 

Our hope is that the bra is suitable for new knitters. Furthermore, the bra is knitted using your own measurements, so that it will fit you, and your body, perfectly.

The Foxy Bra is knitted with a light and airy tension on the cups and a narrow band using seed stitches, which gives the bra a light and beautiful look. The triangular straps and the tall cups give the bra a comfortable fit and can offer a lovely insulating layer in the colder months. The wedge in each cup, and the slight overlap between the cups, gives the The Foxy Bra an elegant look.

    Yarn

    nakedknit Cashmere 170, 170m/25g

    or

    Lang Yarns Cashmere Lace, 165m/25g

    Because the bra is knitted based on your own measurements, the actual amount of yarn you’ll need might differ from what is described here and will depend on the circumference of your stomach and the size of your bust. Our recommendation is therefore to always buy an extra skein of yarn. This way, you can be sure that all your yarn will have the exact same color. You will usually be able to return unopened skeins.

    Furthermore, the model pictured in these instructions is knitted in two different colors – blush pink and white in the same cashmere yarn. If you have leftover yarn you want to use, or simply want to add contrast to the back of the straps, as shown in the pictures here, you can knit the bra in two different colors instead of one. (The colors pictured in these instructions are: 3⁄4 in one color – here in blush pink – and 1⁄4 in a contrasting color – here in a white cashmere.) The Foxy Bra is knitted based on your own measurements, but this is an estimation of the amount of yarn you’ll need:
    S = a stomach circumference of 70-75 cm: 50g
    M = a stomach circumference of 76-84 cm: 50g
    L = a stomach circumference of 85-95 cm: 75g
    XL = a stomach circumference of 96-107 cm: 100g
    XXL = a stomach circumference of 108-120 cm: 100-125g 
    NB! Cashmere feels soft and delicate against the skin. We therefore strongly urge you to follow the suggestion and use the yarn listed above. We can’t guarantee that the bra won’t feel itchy if you use a different kind of wool than the yarn suggested in this pattern.
    Tension The Foxy Bra is knitted using stocking stitches on a 2,75 needle. The tension is 28 sts x 44 n = 10 x 10 cm

    Frequently asked questions

    How does the individual sizing work?

    This differs from pattern to pattern, but oftentimes we ask you to measure underneath your bust and across your bust. Then we offer a calculation based on the knitting tension and this in turn tells you e.g. how many stitches you should cast on for your band. 

    Other times, it’s measuring the cups to your body and stopping when you feel they give the coverage you prefer. For some of our patterns we have created an Excel sheet where you simply type in your measurements and it provides you with the amount of stitches, cast-ons ect. Going forward we will optimise this and add it to more patterns. 

    How much support do your bras give?

    The bras give the same support as a soft, wireless bra. However there are no strap adjustments in the patterns yet, so we generally recommend you knit the straps 5-10 cm shorter than you normally would, so they can ease.

    Can I knit in other types of yarn than cashmere?

    Of course you can! 

    We recommend cashmere because while researching many different yarn types, cashmere was the yarn that was the softest against the skin for the longest duration of time. Also cashmere on small needles tends to give a more tight knitted, elegant look, that we feel are perfect for our designs.But as long as you match the knitting tension to whatever yarn you are using, you can use whatever yarn you want.
