Filigree Cami is worked bottom-up and sideways. It starts with two lace back panels, then the stitches are placed on holder, the bottom edges are finished with I-Cord and the back pieces are put aside for later. The front piece is worked from the bottom straight to the underarm where the decreasing starts to shape the top part of the front. The straps are made by using front’s edge stitches and after reaching the correct length, joined with the back stitches using I-Cord Bind Off. Then the stitches for sides are picked up along the front sides, worked sideways and after decreasing, sewn on to the back panels.
