I dropped BF off at the airport yesterday morning so he could fly to
Carolina for his 3 weeks of paperwork before he starts his contract in
Iraq. (he will be back before he goes again, he's just gone for 3
weeks right now).
I stopped by Borders on my way home (trip chaining--gotta save gas) and
picked up the Mason-Dixon knitting book. I love it. I love the
stories, the pictures, and the patterns. Much more lively than a
"plain" pattern book could be.
Mom fell in love with the baby kimono. I told her she could make it
since it's all stuff I KNOW she can do (she's done a few square and
corner-to-corner discloths) but she insists she doesn't want to knit
it, she wants it crocheted.
So, I'm here to ask if anyone has a pattern similar to what's in the
book (newborn sized) for crochet. My plan right now is to knit the
kimono and before sewing it up she can make a pattern off it for
crochet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Amanda
If you can't find another, why not convert the knit pattern to crochet?
My favourite book for this is 'From Needles to Hook' which tells you
how to convert both row and stitch gauge, plus makes lots of
suggestions of compatible stitches.

I also saw this on ebay; a vintage crochet pattern book that lists a
baby kimono.
