This kimono cardigan from M. Patmos, knit in Classic Elite Yarns’ angora-blend “Fresco,” is an exercise in unconventional geometry. It’s knit in slip-stitch rib in two main pieces: the back and sleeves from cuff to cuff; the collar and fronts, in one piece with knit-in pockets. The ribbed lower back band is picked up and worked after the pieces are assembled.

Shoulder to shoulder: 22”/56cm. Back length: 18”/45.5cm.
