Kids Bathrobe

I have a confession…the robe pictured here is actually a present for someone else! LOL – as you may know, my daughter’s name is not Harris. But when you have a neighbor who looooooooooves Minnie Mouse as much as this little girl loves Minnie Mouse, it feels good to do something special for her. Like get personalized-Disney-fabric-and-make-her-a-handmade-gift special. My daughter’s can always use new robes or towels, which made the quick and easy raglan kids robe pattern perfect to create.

Due to generous sizing, this robe can fit anywhere from a big 2T, to a small 6 (my daughter is a very small 7 – as seen in these photos). The fact that it is made out of knit, makes it pretty forgivable to a variety of sizes, and perfect for growing girls and boys.
