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.

Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use.

I love this little plaid hand towel from Darling Jadore. Use a little bit of leftover cotton yarn from another project for the plaid portion. It looks like the horizontal stripes are worked as you knit and the vertical stripes are done with duplicate stitch, making this a quick and easy project even newer knitters can make.

Combine garter stitch and an easy eyelet pattern worked sideways to make the Annette Dish Towel from Cluck Cluck Boots, which is meant to be reminiscent of flour sack towels. It calls for DK weight yarn and you can work it in one color or two (or even three!).

Add a little more texture with this set of kitchen towels from Whileberry Creative. They’re mostly worked in garter stitch with borders in easy knit/purl patterns, and you can work them in sport or worsted weight yarn.

Two of Wands Shop has another cute allover knit and purl pattern they call the Seersucker Textured Tea Towel. It’s an easy repeating pattern worked in worsted weight yarn, and there’s a chart in the pattern you can use, but don’t have to, if you want to practice knitting from a chart.

The Classic Cloth dish towel from Handmade Home by Connie is another one that can use a little leftover yarn in a contrasting color, or you could color block it our use stripes throughout the pattern. This one uses worsted weight yarn and another easy repeating knit purl stitch pattern.

If you like to hang your towel on the oven handle or elsewhere but it’s always falling off, try the Stay Put kitchen towel from Fancy Step Knits. This project is worked in garter stitch and includes a hole partway through so you can pull the towel through itself over a rod or handle. Stripes are optional but a nice addition.
