About this deal

It’s important that your gauge matches the gauge indicated in the pattern for the size to turn out correctly. Adjust your tension or change needle size accordingly. Change to smaller straight needles and work in Eyelet patt until piece measures 12”/30.5cm from CO edge. Place panels side by side on a flat surface while lining up the drop stitches and the garter stitch sections. With a length of yarn and a tapestry needle, seam up the center, stopping approximately 4” from the middle center. If you know Fabulessly Frugal, you know we love upcycling ideas, and this one is really clever! A kimono from a scarf. The style of this one is long and flowy, and also lightweight, which is really nice. Below: This “Silver” 24/7 Cotton (here) is so pretty isn’t it? It has just a touch of sheen that brightens up the yarn just enough.

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably a bit surprised at all the different DIY kimonos and styles on this list! Also, who knew you could make a kimono out of a scarf or a t-shirt? I love the creativity! This kimono is squishy, unique and definitely fun to knit. I think it goes great with jeans, but it would be really cute with leggings as well. Any other ideas? Messy bun, kimono and leggings – that’s probably my fave idea of all. Rep Rows 1-4 for Eyelet patt until piece measures 20 (21, 22)”/51 (53.5, 56)cm from CO edge, ending with a WS row.

Yes, even as a beginner knitter, you can make a kimono! Choose a pattern that is rated as “easy” or “beginner friendly,” and look for projects that use your current skills but may include a new stitch or two to challenge you.

Starting things out simple, we have a really nice, elegant, and lightweight kimono-style tunic top. This style is perfect for the summer and it’s really easy to make. Warmer weather is when the spaghetti straps and maxi dresses come out. But even in hot temps, I like to have pretty things to toss over my shoulders when I encounter indoor A/C or evening breezes. This is another pattern that is beginner friendly yet super chic to wear. If you scroll to the bottom of the pattern below, you can see the photos and how it’s basically two rectangles seamed together. If you can knit and purl, this will be easy for you to make for yourself or as a gift for a friend or loved one. If you haven’t learned to knit, you can find my tutorial and video in this post HERE using the method that I find easiest. Two rectangular panels are knit in garter stitch and dropped stitches, then seamed at the center and sides to form the kimono. Beginner friendly pattern acoording to the designer. Sizes S/M, L/XL. Worsted weight yarn. Designed by Jessica Reeves Potasz for Mama In A Stitch. Also available in a kit. This Coral Kimono Cardigan is one of those garments that you can wear year round. When the weather is warmer, you can spice up a simple tee or tank top and when the weather is cooler, you can layer it over a flannel or long sleeved shirt. Knit as a rectangle, it’s a greatpattern for beginners.Kimono-style cardigan knit in 3 pieces in seed stitch and trimmed with 8 row repeat Criss Cross Cable. Sizes Finished Bust 49 (55) in. (124.5 (140) cm). Designed by Lion Brand. Aran weight yarn. Easy lace cardigan with wide sleeves knit with a 4 row repeat. 3 Sizes S/M: 65”, L/XL: 73”, and 2XL/3XL: 81”. Designed by Rachel Carson Hill. Free web version available. DK weight yarn. Wrap cardigan with wide sleeves knit with the Dragon Skin stitch pattern from Barbara Walker’s 2nd Treasury of Knitting Patterns. Sizes Bust/Hips 32 36 40 44 48 52 56 in This one also reminds me a lot of a cardigan, and I’d say it’s more of a fall or winter season kimono. I really love the knit look.

This kimono is really great for Spring, Fall, and early Summer weather. It has a great open weave lace pattern that makes sure there’s a lot of air-flow through the panels to keep you nice and cool on warm days, but also enough fabric to keep you warm when it’s cool! BOTTOM LINE: Very good pattern book for those of us who enjoy Japanese-style clothing. Simple construction, the use of easily obtained yarns, and some really nice variations on the basic kimono pattern, make this a wonderful read, only enhanced by the history of and illustrations of "real" kimonos as well.

This Monaco Kimono is super pretty and especially fun to knit because you get to play around with several different colors and stitch patterns. The variety of stitches creates a cool visual effect and makes for a nice mix of textures. And no worries, this kimono was made to be simple!

I’m a big fan of anything that adds a little sophistication to comfortable at-home wear. With these kimono cardigans below, the possibilities are endless which is great since it can be hard to find a nice one in stores. 17 Kimono Knitting PatternsHere’s an easy and fun knit kimono, perfect piece for spring and summer! Light and airy, throw it on over a tank or dress! Most people think that kimonos are specifically for spring and summer. However, with a little creativity, and some layering, there is no reason why you can’t wear a kimono in the colder months. For more complex designs or those who like taking their time to knit at a slower pace, it can take weeks or even months. Don’t be worried if it takes you longer to knit the sweater, we call it slow fashion for a reason. It is better to take your time and enjoy the process. Repeat row 1 – 13 until piece is approximately (40”, 48”) (NOTE : to line up the rows and drop stitches when seamed, you will want to end with the garter stitch rows of 1 – 7) Lion Brand Yarn Color Made Easy in Basalt 200 g / skein Monaco Kimono Kit available from Lion Brand HERE
