Iceni

Iceni is an up-and-over the shoulder, textured bodice, perfect for wearing over a floaty top.
Iceni is named after the ancient Celtic tribe of Boudicca.
Iceni is essentially 3 decorative rectangles joined together with a tiny bit of shaping for the curvy, some lacing and as little sewing together as possible.

This pattern uses a quintuple treble which is a pain to get looking pretty and even, but it’s worth persevering.

I used dk for one version and aran weight for another.

I’m plus size with a 46” bust to cover and I used around 891 yards (815m) of Cascade Ultra Pima dk.

I used colours Armada (277g, 554m, 605yards),

Blueberry (74g, 148m,162yards),

Coca (41g, 82m, 90yards),

Chipmunk (32g, 64m, 70yards) and

Antique moss (20g, 40m, 44 yards)

The top part took up the most yardage, the waistband used relatively little.

Iceni is a 36 page full colour pattern with links to a printer friendly version and a walk-through photo guide.
