Free Knitting Pattern – Kimono Jacket

The Kimono style jacket is a popular fashion trend that has been gaining popularity in recent years. The kimono jacket is characterized by its loose, flowing silhouette and wide sleeves that resemble traditional Japanese kimonos. The kimono jacket is a versatile piece of clothing that can be worn in many different ways, making it a popular choice for both casual and formal occasions.

The popularity of kimono jackets can be attributed to their ability to flatter any body shape. The loose-fitting style is flattering for all body types, and the wide sleeves and open front create a relaxed and comfortable fit. The kimono jacket is also a great way to add a touch of elegance to any outfit, and it can be easily dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

In this particular pattern, the kimono style jacket is made with Red Heart Super Saver Ombre which give a nice gradient effect to the final product. The pattern requires 3-5 balls of yarn and 24″ (60 cm) circular needles size 8 (5.0 mm). The pattern includes instructions for sizes XS-XL, so you can make a jacket that fits you perfectly. This pattern is suitable for easy knitters, as it does not require any complicated techniques.

When it comes to styling a kimono jacket, there are many different options. They can be paired with skinny jeans and a tank top for a casual look, or worn over a dress for a more formal occasion. They can also be worn as a cover-up over a swimsuit at the beach, or as a layering piece over a sweater in the colder months. The possibilities are endless!

Overall, the kimono-style jacket is a must-have item in any wardrobe. It is a versatile, comfortable and elegant piece of clothing that can be styled in many different ways. With this pattern, you can easily make your own kimono-style jacket, with a unique and modern touch with the ombre effect of the yarn.

One of the fun things about knitters is that we will use a holiday theme on any kind of project. From Easter bunny socks to Christmas sweaters, there’s no combination of holiday motif and knitwear genre we won’t combine.

Case in point: Halloween cowls.

This fun cowl from Sweet Vireo Designs features large carved pumpkins and little cats and skulls. It uses two colors of DK weight yarn and I love the multicolored yarn for the background color on this one. And the braids! So cute.

Spooky Season by Jocelyn Tunney (also on Ravelry) uses fingering weight yarn in two colors to make a design with crescent moons and eyes. There are two circumferences and two heights available so you can make it a neck hugger or a slightly bigger project if you like.

Make more moons with the Broom Riding Cowl from Vanessa Ewing Knits. This two color pattern looks extra fun with a multicolored yarn for the colorwork, but you can use a solid as well. It calls for DK weight yarn but there is also a fingering weight version if you have some yarn in your stash you want to use.

Jinx Made has another fun Halloween cowl, this time covered in skulls. South Philly Skulls uses DK weight yarn and comes in two lengths, and there’s also a matching hat pattern, both of which can be found on Ravelry.

The Ghost Stories cowl from Melissa Knit Wear is a two-color cowl with ghosts of different sizes on the body. It uses DK weight yarn, and average sized skeins will allow you to get two cowls out of two skeins. It also calls for stitch markers to help you keep your place in the chart.

Or stitch up a cowl with a giant bat on it. The Nightling Cowl from Jen Immer uses DK weight yarn in two colors and has moons and a large bat on it. This pattern can be found on Ravelry.

How about spooky trees? The Weirwood Cowl from Andrea Krüß-Anders is inspired by the weirwood trees in the Game of Thrones books, and is worked in two colors of fingering weight yarn. You can find this free pattern on Ravelry.

If a bandana cowl is more your thing, try Cowloween from Tellybean Knits (on Ravelry). This colorful design is worked from the top down and features pumpkins, ghosts and candy colored stripes, and is worked in a light fingering weight yarn. There are kid and adult sizes available.
