Under Dutch Skies

Last weekend our friends N. & A. had a baby boy.  Last week I finished this baby kimono for the new arrival.  Good timing!  We haven’t been able to visit yet, so N. & A. SURPRISE! 🙂

This is a pattern I found on Ravelry and I couldn’t resist.  You knit the fronts and back separately, bind the shoulder seams together, then pick up the sleeve stitches at the shoulder and knit down to the cuffs.

The body is knit with Madelinetosh DK (superwash, so you can throw it into the washer, gentle cycle, and hang/lay to dry) in colorway Clover.  The ties are knit with some leftover Pigeonroof Studios in sport weight, colorway Aubergine.

I hope he likes it!
