Free pattern: Little Kid Kimono Set in 0-3 month size

Laura from Craftstorming shares a free pattern for making this sweet kimono set for a baby. Her free pattern includes the kimono style top and matching pants, both made from a stretch knit to be soft against baby’s tender skin. The pattern is for a 0-3 month size, making it a perfect gift for a new baby. I might make up a few myself to keep on hand for baby shower gifts. You can find the free pattern here at her pattern shop, Titschy Threads.
