One for the Baby

Pattern: Baby Kimono from Mason-Dixon Knitting
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cathay (50% cotton 35% viscose 15% silk, 50g, 105 yds.) in Old Rose 09 and White 02, 1 ball each.
Needles: Addi Turbo US 5 32"
Cast On: June 2
Cast Off: June 15
Mods: I guess none really, the pattern is pretty free form. I choose to make it on St st instead of the more popular garter and I did make it in two colors which was a pain. The floats on the increasing of the sleeves specially. I also choose use i-cord insted of ribbon for the straps.
Comments:This is for the baby of my cousin who's due on august. The pattern is simple and looks really cute. It's also a fast knit and very practical design for babys. I may have chosen a too delicate yarn for a baby garment but couldn't resist the colors and it says on the label that is machine washable, we'll see.
