So, if you knit on bigger needles than say, US 3s, I recommend using needle protectors (those little caps) on any inactive needles, it helps soooo much! I’m working a tube scarf with 80 stitches in the round, and I haven’t lost a single stitch using them.

The thinner look really is lovely, I don’t think anyone would turn down that end project.

The other notion is just an idea, I don’t want to throw extra work at you!

I like the skinnier panels, the pop-out/cutout colors show better, and will look stylish on any table.
If you feel nervous about the product width, what about adding the center white/cream to the outsides as a foldable layer (if wider is desired, fold it out; if skinnier is desired, keep it back

It’s so lovely!!
You can do this!

Those are so pretty!!

Or, maybe just have a lot of extra length that unfolds from the back of the shorts like wings, that can fold and be layered in place?

Ooo yeah I see your planning sketches.

So the kimono is meant to wrap from one side all the way around to the other, and your obi will hold it in place; shorts sit differently, but maybe you can create ties to fasten the kimono to the shorts (like over your hip bone) to keep the look smooth?

Origami I made, a few rabbit figurines, a Lego figure on my stickered computer tower, an old afghan on my comp chair, and an ikea octopus lurking under my desk. I may drag a tatami mat in there eventually, depends on space and desk alignment.

Are you making shorts? Separate piece from the kimono, right?
November 30, 2025 at 7:46 PM
Biggest measurement to worry about is shoulder width and kimono length.

You can vary certain measures beyond that, for a more custom fit, but in general, kimono are pretty modular, thankfully.

Practice one in a easy white fabric (make that juban/underlayer while you’re at it)

Backstitching may change things.

Also, if you want to create a different color balance, I wonder what holding one strand of the purple with one of a blue or grey close in saturation level instead?

There are few things in the world more beautiful than a dedicated craftsperson at work.
Thank you for sharing this!!

This appears to be a nice guide for how to read and understand knitting charts.
I mostly figured it out as I made more challenging projects, but charts are handy for texture changes, or stitch count changes.

Well, knitting charts generally have a similar “code” or “legend”. Most patterns will have a key that explains which symbols represent which stitches.

Does the chart “look like” the end product you want to make?

I can try and translate it out for you, if that would help, from DMs.

Those hips don’t lie, but that shirt definitely does.

How heavy was the combat/survival aspect?
Super interested but averse to a lot of combat time.

Observation or asking for help?
