I HAD to post about this pattern. A good friend called for some people to test knit a top she designed. It’s a simple top-down raglan knit. Hopefully, any bugs or size issues with the patterns will be sorted quickly so that she can get crackin’ on larger sizes.
It’s called Kaia’s Babydoll and is knit in 8 ply. I used Bendigo Woolen Mills 8 ply cotton in Marine (no longer available) for the bodice and Cleckheaten Natural Cotton 8 ply in cream for the body. I added in some colourwork so the dress would have a gradual change from blue to cream. I am missing a few transition rows, but that’s where knitting more than one will come in handy.
Anyway, keep an eye out on Ravelry for her pattern, where she goes by MessyMama.


Sweet, sweet, sweet…very cool way to transition the colouring.
