The Nebula Cami is a slim fit v-neck crochet camisole that features a dramatic scoop back and optional ties which create the cutest gathering at the sides. This crochet pattern whips up in no time at all, and it is the perfect summer crochet project!
Not to worry if you prefer a more conservative back… I’ve got you covered! 😉 There are options included in the pattern for a medium scoop, or no scoop at all. Scroll to see how these options look on the tester photos below!

Construction
This crochet cami is made bottom-up as two panels that are seamed together at the sides. The straps and side ties are added last. Make your straps criss-crossed or straight, you decide! There are also instructions to adjust the width for added support!
Sizing
The cami is designed with 2-5 inches of negative ease. This means that the finished measurements for your size will be 2-5 inches smaller than your actual bust measurement. The low scoop at the back really loosens the bust; it is quite forgiving despite the negative ease.
