From the time I started making stuff for Cupcake, I have been itching to use this particular yarn. I think in my crazy excitement of finally working with it, I somehow managed to make it real big. (How does one goof up top down measurements. Duh.). So big, it is going to fit Cupcake at age one. Biggie Kimono. Anyway, people grow, and the kid will wear this then.
Another no-brainer pattern. I made some modifications so that the stockinette does not roll (see below) and worked the sleeves short. The yarn says it is worsted, but it seemed DK to me. I dont know how some people on Ravelry used larger sized needles for projects with this yarn. Well, I suppose one person's worsted is another's DK.
Pattern: Seamless Baby Kimono (Free)
Yarn: Knit One Crochet Too 2nd Time Cotton; 1.75 skeins
Needle: US 5
Size: 12 months (chest size 22 inches)
Gauge: 5 stitches per inch
Modifications:
1. 5 rows of garter stitch for a collar. Saw that some complained of stockinette rolling.
2. Sleeves: 3 rounds stockinette, 8 rounds garter stitch.
3. Didn't do the ties. Created button holes on either edge at the garter border, and added buttons in such a way so as to expose one button.

Another beautiful knit. And thank you!
Thank you, the Thermis was sooo soft! Love, love the latest baby project. The color is great.
The nice thing about babies is that unless they're Benjamin Button, they'll just get bigger!
Cute sweater, and I like the background fabric.
That is a really adorable, but still so very, very practical little sweater. It will see a lot of use. And cupcake (love the name!) will be fitting it before you know it.
What a sweet little project! Love!
I was one of those who complained about rolling collar. I haven't fixed it yet! Now that I think about it, even I ended up with a bigger kimono when I intended to knit a smaller one. Problem with pattern, may be?
I LOVE this kimono! The colour is one of my favourite (it taste like Autumn) and...its seamless!!!
Great work :)
This color is so perfect for fall and you will be happy that Cupcake won't outgrow this in 2 weeks!!!
What a beautiful color and cute sweater. Very sweet.

Cute! Love the color, too.
I love the bright orange. Your cupcake will always be cheerful.
Sadly, Cupcake will fit into it sooner than you think. They grow so fast! It amazes me how time flies. It's beautiful and I love the color!
this cupcake gotta brings JOY to the family.
This is beautiful! That is a great color of yarn. And it's good that you're spacing out the sizes of the knits you're making...you might not have as much time to knit with a little one around, right?
This is really cute, love that orange!!!
It's darling.
