Wanted to knit something contemporary for my friends new baby granddaughter. Was drawn to this pattern as something different and versatile as the outfit can be changed to coordinate with different outfits by just changing the ribbons. Was taken in by the little matching bootees.
Found the cast off for the bootees complicated at first when reducing 3 stitches from three separate needles to one stitch, Initally i kept loosing one of the stitches in the process. Solved this by just bringing my yarn though one stitch at time, slipping that stitch off the needle and then bringing the yarn thought the next.

Looking forward to seeing your finished Kimono. Sorry for the confusion with the amount of wool. Yes i have paid the price in the past for knitting too late and espically for trying to continue knit in the dark as the natural light has faded.

Realised this morning how to use stitch markers. I can use safety pins and just loop them onto needle. Moral of the story - don't knit late at night as your brain is too tired to think straight! Have emailed LK to get more wool. Thanks for your reply. Happy knitting!

Alternatively you could use a small loop of contrasting yarn.

Yes I used double knitting wool.
I used a size smaller than the suggested 4 mm needles (used size 3.75 mm), to give a neater finish on the garter stitch.
