In this pattern you will be using the half double crochet stitch. This stitch creates a really cool texture that almost appears to be knit and leaves very few holes in the fabric which you often see with crochet. The ribbed bottom cuff is created by simply making half double crochet stitch through the back loop. The cuff is then seamed to the kimono and voila! This kimono has no shaping and is simply two rectangles seamed at the back and sides.
