Cherry Blossom Kimono is an easy knitting pattern for a relaxed kimono-style cardigan with elegant wide sleeves and a comfortable oversized fit.

Worked flat in five separate pieces and assembled at the end, this lightweight layering piece combines garter stitch with reverse stockinette stitch to create a timeless silhouette that is both modern and effortless.

The pattern is designed for a DK-weight bouclé yarn, creating a soft, airy fabric with beautiful texture and excellent drape. This yarn weight offers the perfect balance between warmth and lightness, making the kimono ideal for layering throughout the seasons.

Whether worn over a dress, jeans or knitwear, Cherry Blossom Kimono is a versatile wardrobe staple and an enjoyable project for knitters of all levels.
