Denne opskrift er på dansk.

The Shell Bra er en bandeau-inspireret BH, som kan strikkes med eller uden stropper og strikkes efter dine egne brystmål i str. S (M) L.  

OBS! Størrelserne, som er angivet i opskriften, er en form for skålstørrelse og ikke din almindelige størrelse på dit tøj.. Størrelsesangivelsen S/M/L dækker nemlig her over din barms størrelse og ikke dit omfang om livet eller over skuldrene. Størrelserne på skålene (som her kaldes S/M/L) skal altså betragtes særskilt fra din overkrops mål. Båndet under barmen og bagom ryggen samt stropper strikkes efter mål undervejs.


Den strikkede bh er noget mere blød og justerbar end de bh’er, som købes i eksempelvis bomuld eller polyester. Dermed er det vores håb at kunne inkludere mange (forskellige) barme i den mere brede skålstørrelse, som S/M/L her dækker over.

BH'en strikkes i ét stykke, hvor man starter under højre arm og bevæger sig hen over højre bryst, så kavalergang, hernæst venstre bryst for til slut at strikke rygstykket.

Båndet under brystet, som bliver til båndet omkring ryggen, kan derefter foldes dobbelt og sys løst sammen, så det bliver til en tube-form. Til sidst samles masker op i kanten af BH’ens to skåle, hvorfra stropperne strikkes og monteres på  BH’ens rygbånd.

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. 

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. 

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.

I have a bigger bust, will your bras work for me?

Our bras are meant as a soft, wireless alternative to regular bras.  If you need more support for your bust than a soft bra can give you, we suggest you wear a regular bra underneath your nakedknit bra.
