I was always fascinated by asian cultures and especially the simple garment forms of the clothes in Japan and other countries. This Cardigan is made in Kimono shape and the gorgeous Kiwi Lace yarn adds a good drape. This floating fabric garment will be best for the colder summer evenings you are sitting outside.
The cardigan is knit in 2 equal pieces from the arms to the center and is finished with either 3-needle bind off to fasten the center back.
