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.
