FO - Baby Kimono
During my absence from the blog in June and July I whipped this up. I wasn’t able to post it earlier because it was a shower gift for my sister. I didn’t exactly swatch for this, I just kind of doubled the yarn I had on hand and went for it. I figured the worst that would happen is that it would be big, but you know babies are always growing aren’t they? 
Modeled by the adorable Cory. (He’s from the Corvette museum)
Description: Baby Kimono
Pattern: Baby Kimono #70352AD by Lion Brand Yarn
Yarn used: Cascade 220 Superwash in the Really Red 809 and White 871 Colorways (100% Peruvian Highland Wool) 100g / 220yds; .85 skein of each yarn. The yarn was held double.
Care Instructions: Machine wash
Needle Size: US 15 (10.0 mm)
Modifications: I used a worsted weight yarn held double. The pattern called for bulky yarn.
Finished Size: round about big enough for a 2 year old.
Date Started: 5/30/2008
Date Completed: 6/2/2008
Notes: The crocheted tie around the tummy was made by my mother because she can crochet and I am gimpy. But she showed me how. Some day I won’t be so gimpy about it.
Close up of sorts.
Full shot.
