Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2007: “Have a harlequin romance with Maie Landra’s kimono-and-pants pairing, knit in a variation of the Koigu creator’s signature mitered technique. The jacket, which floats balloon sleeves, incorporates seventeen colors of yarn and two sizes of modularly knit squares; the cropped pants employ a beaded seed-stitch tuxedo piping down the side of each leg. Both are worked in ‘KPPPM’ from Koigu Wool Designs.”

“Oversized kimono-style jacket with ¾ balloon sleeves and loose-fitting pants both made with multiple squares which are formed by 4 triangles. Jacket is sized for one size fits most.”
