Komon Kimono Pattern

by Vicki Square

Directions for this project inKnit Kimono, shown below. Komon are small, textural pattern repeats worked in a single color that when persented together across the kimono fabric bring visions of subtle elegance. This knitted version uses yarnovers to create a small textural pattern that emulates latticework. The sleeves are comparatively shallow and the front opening falls straight from the shoulders with beautiful drape. Shown in Andean Silk Sangria.
Needles: 
Size 6: circular or straight

View More Images Knit Kimono by Vicki Square The kimono is recognized worldwide as an icon of Japanese culture that has endured for centuries. The classic boxy shape remains popular, due in large part, to its flattering fit and drape on every body style. This book provides 18 original designs, each reflecting a style or feature of traditional kimono. The styles run the gamut from short to long, rectangle sleeves to shaped, casual to dressy, straight or overlapping front opening, with sleeves or without. These are great first-garment projects for the knitter wanting to venture beyond scarves. Item No. 30973 Retail: $24.95 Your Cost: $16.47 Save 34%
