Have you seen it?

The latest issue of Petite Purls is up! Check it out!

This issue features my Fun-in-the-Sun design, a sunsuit with a dumptruck bib for boys and a flower bib for girls.

The bottoms are worked first, front and back separately to make the leg shaping easier. The bib is picked up from a turning ridge on the front and is worked up, with the straps worked continuously from the top of the bib. Multiple buttonholes are worked into the straps, allowing the outfit to 'grow' along with baby all summer long. Buttons are hidden on the inside of back ribbing.

The pattern is a free download and is a fairly quick project. Model is knit at 6.5 sts per inch in Nomotta Catania.

Enjoy!
