From the book: “This kimono features intarsia checks in a palette of warm wood tones in a matte linen yarn that yields exquisite drape when pressed. The checkered pattern is framed by the neckband and hem borders of a bold slip-stitch chevron pattern. This knitting adventure is time intensive, but the end result is worth the effort.”

Yarn: The pattern suggests the following colors of the recommended yarn:

• tobacco, 5 skeins

• black, 3 skeins

• mustard, 2 skeins

• champagne, 2 skeins
