Knitting process:
You will start out this kimono by knitting a ribbed neckband. After knitting this neckband you will pick up stitches for the yoke in this neckband, and now the neckband will continue as front bands all the way down to the bottom of the body of the kimono.
When the body is finished, stitches are picked up around the sleeve edge opening and the sleeve edge band are knitted while at the same time knitted on the kimono by knitting a stitch from the sleeve edge band together with one of the picked up stitches around the armhole opening.
The kimono is being knitted back and forth. Since the kimono is knitted top down, it is easy to adjust the length on the body.
Please Note:

Should you need more yarn, additional yarn can be purchased at regular prices by placing an order and state lot number in the comment box at checkout.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.
- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.
- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
