It has long full sleves and a ribbed squared off collar on the neck. The front is done in 2 sections to make the extra fullness.

I've seen several designs in past issues of Vogue Knitting that I'm sure would adapt to the Bond. Just cast on more stitches for the bottom, calculate how far up you want to go, and decrease gradually for the bust so it isn't just a big square. It would probably be in and out of style after the pregnancy, but then isn't just about everything? | | / \ / \ ---------- If this comes out okay, it should be approximately like the pattern shape shown in Vogue Spring/summer 92. Where it is straight at the top is where the sleeves/or sleeve holes go.

Then gathered or pleated pieces underneath. |--------------| | Yoke | |--------------| /""""""""""""""\ / Gathers \ Does this help? the yoke was like a drop shoulder sweater from the armhole up and back was the normal back.

Knit the front from side to side up to, or a bit below the armhole shaping, putting in 2 or 3 short row gussetts. Bind it off and rehang the top and do the yolk shaping. I've never tried it but I think that it would work. Might even look cute.

Like on tailored Jackets. So after the baby, mommy can still wear the sweater and it would be more of a fitted look. I think this would be a very thoughtful gift.
