ABOUT THE DESIGN
The Pearl kimono is worked flat top down on circular needles. The sleeves are worked in the round on dpns (or magic loop). The eyelet pattern on the body and sleeves is worked as charted. Stitches are picked up for the front band and an eyelet row is worked in the middle of the band. The Pearl kimono is an open cardigan, and if you prefer it to be closed, simply add button holes instead of eyelets.
