Expectant Little Knits
Posted on | February 23, 2008 | 7 Comments
Here are my 2 designs that were in Expectant Little Knits! My first book published designs for 2008:
Lacy Babydoll [Ravelry Link]
Purple Rain Sleeveless Tunic [Ravelry Link]
This design project was really a challenge to me. Fitting a non-pregnant body is one thing, but maternity sweaters need a few more tricks added in for a proper fit. I used Big Girl knits quite a bit to learn how short rows can help add a little room in the places exactly where it’s needed. I was a little worried when I sent them off not really knowing if they would fit the models or not, but judging from the final product, I think I can safely say I did ok!

Great tunic- what a challenge to fit for special needs. Pregnant ladies need some cute knits too.
