The Milk Wrap - English

The Milk Wrap is a simple, classic and comfortable nursing bra/top. 

The pattern includes the pattern for the bra and the top. The Milk Wrap is knitted from the top down and is knitted after your own measurements for enhanced comfort and fit. This pattern is therefore a pattern for tailor-knitted nursing underwear. 

It is knitted in cashmere wool which ensures that it will not scratch against your naked skin, as well as it is breathable. The properties of cashmere wool will direct moist away from your body and keep it warm when needed.

Yarn

nakedknit cashmere 112 (112m/25g)

or

Lang Yarn Cashmere Premium (115 m/25g)

Please note! Cashmere is nice and soft to wear against the skin. Therefore it is our clear recommendation to follow this yarn suggestion. It cannot be guaranteed that the bra will not scratch against your skin if knitted in other qualities than recommended. Additionally, it can be noted that there is a great difference in the softness of the yarn according to the colour, especially with the yarn from Laines du Nord. The less colour added, the softer the yarn. However, this will to a certain extent be evened out after washing.

The knitting tension in this pattern is different from the tensions estimated at the yarns mentioned above. This is due to the pattern being knitted tighter than usually recommended, simply to get a better hold of the breasts.

The entire pattern is knitted on a needle size 3, and the tension used in this pattern is 30 sts/10 cm measured in stocking stitch.

About the sizes and amount of yarn

The Wrap Bra and The Wrap Top is knitted after your measurements. Both cups are knitted from the top down, so you can stop when you considering them as the appropriate size for your breasts. Likewise is the band under the breasts and the straps knitted after your measurements. 

An estimated amount of yarn needed is given with basis in your regular size clothing for tops and similar.

The Milk Wrap Bra:

S = approx. 50g

M = approx. 75g

L = approx. 100g

The Milk Wrap Top: 

S = approx. 75g

M = approx. 100g

L = approx. 125g

However, it is always our recommendation to buy one ball of yarn extra much rather than one too few. This way you are sure that the color of the yarn is exactly the same. Most yarn retailers take unopened balls of yarn back.
