136 Children's Kimono & Vests

Children's Sizes 2-10. Here is an authentic and versatile selection of Japanese garments for boys and girls, sized 2 to 10. The Children's Kimono has the same basic cut and construction as our adult pattern, 113 Japanese Kimono. Two sleeve options provide two different looks for the kimono. Tips for making and wearing a traditional Obi sash are also included. The Quilted Vest is traditionally worn under the Kimono to give the figure a more cylindrical shape. We think that it is also terrific worn outside the Kimono, and, of course, with informal clothes! We’ve included instructions for machine quilting, or you can use pre-quilted fabric. The Quilted Vest is finished simply with a bias binding. A charming Knitted Vest for boys or girls echoes the silhouette of the Quilted Vest. A three-dimensional-looking diamond stitch is used. Complete knitting instructions are included. Add sashiko for an authentic and fun kimono. Suggested fabrics: Kimono (both views): Light to medium-weight cotton, rayon, silk, bl
