Ava's Fall Kimono




I made this kimono for my faux grandaughter Ava. I tried to get it up sooner, but the computer was not cooperating! Look at her cute little poochie lip! Sherry

Oh so very cute, both the knitting and the wearer.

Is that ribbon threaded throught the kimono? Did you have to adjust the size?

I love that kimono. It'll make a great keepsake for Ava. She's a cutie, too.

Adorable! Nice touch with the buttons. I've been thinking of making one for my best friend's baby boy (due in April) and trying duplicate stitch on it, but buttons...hmm... :)

Ava's face and her little fists are too cute!

It is beautiful, as is its model! Wondering if you could say what gauge yarn and size needle you used. I am making one that I ahve sized up and it still looks too little, particularly the wrists. Thanks! I need to make a few more for upcoming babies!

That is one of the nicest orange colors I have seen in a while, do you mind sharing the type of yarn you used and the color?

And of course, the wearer is adorable too!

Thanks for all the comments and questions. Sorry I took so long to respond, my daughter is having a baby and we have been working on the nursery! As for the sweater, I used Lion Brand Micro Spun in Mango and size 6 needles. I got mine at Joann Fabrics, its very soft for a baby. Since Ava was not going to be a newborn when I gave her this, I added an inch of knitting to the front, back and sleeves. I am planning on making one for my new grandbaby for Valentines in red with heart buttons!!
