KNIT KIMONO
18 Designs with Simple Shapes
By Vicki Square
|
From casual to formal, the kimono shape has endured for centuries as an internationally
recognized icon of Japanese life and culture. With 18 original designs, each a knitted
interpretation of a traditional kimono style, this handbook makes knitting homemade
kimonos deceptively easy. Projects are based on rectangular forms that require very
little shaping, and are ideal first-garment projects for knitters wanting to venture
beyond scarves. Clever details in stitch patterns and edgings, such as the use of silk,
linen, and bamboo yarns, add sophistication and elegance to even the simplest designs.
The flattering drape and luxurious style of the kimono will appeal to veteran and
beginning knitters alike.
