Needles: 5.5mm circulars with 60+ 100cm cable

Skills: Knit, purl, easy short rows, knit in the round cast on, cast off, seaming up the sides

Pattern by: Michelle Joy (Stewart), written in a less traditional style to be less technical and give the crafter room to adjust the fit and style

Notes:

This Grace Kimono jacket is knit sideways from sleeve cuff to the centre back – in two pieces. The back is shaped with easy short rows to create a flattering V shape, then seamed to join the pieces.

The design is a comfortable dropped shoulder with the option to make the sleeves longer and the back / front wider – it’s a great fit for most, with the featured size fitting 10 to 14/16.  Adjustments to increase fit size to a 16/18 will fit with in the 12 x 50grm balls of Smooth & Silky Merino DK.
