This kimono is made of Prism Tencel Tape, which is a soft, drapy yarn. And I knitted it loose, which adds to the drapiness. The Diagonal Lace Pattern is a 4-row rep. Not too much to keep track of, but it is important that you do keep track of your rows. When choosing your size, remember you want it roomy. Allow for a 6 to 10” ease.
