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.

Getting ready for back to school makes me think about pencil crafts, so let’s take a look at some pencil themed knitting patterns!

I recently made a pencil on a circular knitting machine, and it was a fun, quick, easy project that uses little bits of leftover yarn (and if you don’t have yellow you can make it a colored pencil using whatever color’s your favorite). And if you want to make a bigger version check out this pattern from Orange Olive Road on Etsy.

If you want to knit a pencil pillow by hand, check out Sketchy, available on Ravelry from Shana S. Cohen. This one uses worsted weight yarn and has two size options and the choice to make a pencil with an eraser or a colored pencil.

Pencil scarves seem to be the most popular kind of pencil knitting pattern, and there are lot of cute ones. This one from Cosy Craft UK mostly uses garter stitch, with some welts to add texture and what looks like an I-cord edging. It calls for DK weight yarn.

If you want to go all garter stitch try this version from Emsley Co Creations, which uses five colors of DK weight yarn and just a little shaping to make the point of the pencil.

There’s also this fun, mostly stockinette so it looks like it curls a bit, pencil pattern that looks like it’s worked in chunky yarn from Little Knits Studio. This one uses just a little garter stitch and easy shaping for the point.

If you don’t want a pencil scarf, how about some pencil socks? The No. 2 Pencil Socks from The Yarn Enabler are available from Ravelry and use five colors of sock yarn. They feature wide ribs to mimic the texture of a pencil and have options to be worked from the top down or the toe up.

Needs Sharpening by Alexander Walker is a free pattern on Ravelry that uses five colors of sock yarn to make a sort of shortie sock. The little bit of black at the tips of the toes inspired the name. These, too, can be worked in either direction and are available in three sizes.
