Love the work of Maria Carapim and it has inspired me to make a similar garment.
Drafted a shape pattern using Designaknit.
Yarn unknown fine 4ply knitted at T5 **
Hand transferred lace pattern worked over 7 needles move s stitches over by one place so that there are 3 sts on centre needle. Make sure all needles in W/P, knit 5 rows and keep repeating.
H/P used for all armhole cast offs and then cast off in one piece to give smoother edge.
Used an edging by Sarah Chilcott (Sherbourne knitting club)from her easy peesy hems and edgings leaflet.
BIG mistake, when drafting pattern in DAK forgot to split back for ease of putting on baby ! No way is it going over a babies head. I’ve had to cut n sew back piece and crochet edge to make a button and button hole band. Duh !!!
