Pattern Launch coming soon
I can't believe it's so close now. I've been designing a pattern for about a year, editing changing, testing, getting others to knit and test it, then finding new knitters to test it. It's almost ready for sale now. It's the longies/shorties that I have been using in my store. Writing it up for others to use takes a lot more work than writing it up for myself.
Many late nights fixing the wording, now I just need some more pictures of some of the details, so I'm knitting those up too.
I've designed it in 4 sizes, newborn, small, medium and large. In 3 yarn weights, dk/8ply, worsted/10ply and bulky/12ply. 4 leg shapes, straight, tapered, flared and bell bottom. 17 cuff options, 4 waistbands, ribbed 1x1, ribbed 2x2 with or without cord, enclosed elastic and buttonhole elastic. So lots of choices to get you started and change as you need. Basically so you won't need to search for another pattern again. I know many will though, half the fun is using new patterns too.
My pattern is different to others in the shaping around a nappy with a generous rise at the back as well as buttock shaping. The gusset is worked differently to others I've seen too. I think it results in a finish that sits better and doesn't pull at the increases.
Hopefully it will be something people like and I'm sure it will need some revising over the coming months too. So I will keep a database of purchasers and send updates if it changes after release.
