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.
