It was another beautiful Baby Shower 
and everything was finished just in time with the exception of the kimono sweater.
Here is the blanket that I settled on. 
It was crocheted with the “Irish Chain” stitch using Cascade 220 Superwash. It is one of the easiest patterns I know once you get past remembering how to do the first three stitches. When it was done I trimmed it with green so it would match the hat 
and sweater.
The kimono sweater is from Mason-Dixon Knitting. It is very simple, done in one piece,
sewn together
and ribbons added. I added a crochet trim to this too.
I knitted the sweater with Sublime and really enjoyed the project. (I promise all the pinks do match. I just have to work on lighting when I take the photos.) 
And I included one of my sock babes.

Hello Marybeth,
I want to do the kimono and have the pattern. I also bought cotton yarn as suggested, but I need to know how to enlarge the pattern. I'm just a beginner knitter and need help. The baby girl I'm knitting for was born in July,so I need a larger size. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Marybeth,
I just love your kimono the edging looks perfect for the kimono. What I wanted to ask though was about that cute cute cute sock babe. Is that something you knit or is there somewhere they sell it? It looks oh so cute.
