From the publisher: While you usually know Kim Guzman for her fabulous crochet designs, Kim has expanded her repertoire to include knits as well. The Kalari baby kimono jacket, knitted in Spa, is a perfect example of Kim’s skills as a designer, now for knits.The kimono jacket design is such a favorite with new moms, we had to include one for spring/summer wearing. The double fronts make dressing easy – and Spa keeps him so comfortable!
