Notes

This is my own design. A top for embellishing a maternity bun or maternity dough when the baking is done. Waist shaping in the back and empire pleats in the front. Lots of positive ease. Bottom up with short raglan sleeves and short row shaping in the neck. Lace panel in the front and probably lace sleeves. Finished with i-cord edging in the neckline, using a smaller needle. Blocked out to be longer in the front.

2nd picture shows that this top indeed worked through the whole pregnancy. Picture taken in week 38.

A really nice yarn, so soft after wash and with a lovely drape. For a linen yarn it is quite soft to knit with and it is smooth and even, spun with 6 plies. It shrunk a bit so don’t forget to wash your gauge swatch! Will use this yarn again for sure.

Gauge:
Unwashed: 23st, 32 r on 3mm. Lace panel: 14 cm
After wash: 26st x 35 r, lace panel 13,5cm.
