I loved this kimono/nightgown style sleeper when my children were babies. The drawstring bottom keeps their little feet warm even if they manage to kick off booties or socks. If you add a matching cap and booties you will have a wonderful gift for new babies. I try to keep a set for a girl, boy and a neutral color on hand so that I have a baby gift ready to go. It is much easier to make a set when you are not in a rush to knit a shower gift. This pattern is an adaptation and expansion of the original pattern Large Preemie to Newborn Kimono by Lois Walters available on the Hearts of Gold website.
