So, I’ve finished the world’s most beautiful baby kimono for the world’s most beautiful niece-to-be. See the baby kimono in a less symmetrical state here. Like Brooke’s kimono, I finished this one with a single crochet edging–this time in heather Suss Love (a kind of light gray-green). This yarn is amazingly soft, perfect for baby clothes.
Sorry for the murky photo. Here’s a close-up of the crochet edging:
Here’s a slightly more detailed close-up of the button closure:
The pearlized plastic buttons are just flowery enough to suggest femininity without being too girly. They also go really well with the neutral colors. I think my brother and SIL will love it.
What’s next, Auntie Kate?
Update 01/25/11: Sadly, Suss Love yarn has now been discontinued.
