Pattern Description: A gorgeous cardigan-kimono that can be worn over a variety of tops to add warmth and style to your winter wardrobe. The diversity of stitch patterns make it not only pretty to look at but also super fun to knit. With colors that are right on trend, this kimono goes perfectly with leggings or jeans to create a cute cold weather outfit. 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.
