MATERIAL COICES

anything goes! If you think it can make a cool robe or jacket than it’s the right material choice. The kimono cardigan sewing pattern is simple and drapes around your body like the Japanese original. As a timeless asian staple garment you can find kimonos from the cold Himalayan Mountains made from fur – delicate silk organza in Korea or airy cottons & linens in Japan. The choices are endless and this is why I love this pattern. Unisex and transformable a kimono cardigan fits into any wardrobe and works with every style!
