Summary: “Indigo is a common dyestuff, but the colors it produces are anything but commonplace. Indigo-dyed cotton, native bast fivers, and tough wild silk were used in garments for the working class peasantry, or noragi … I have taken artistic license with the basic shape of the kimono, folding the yoke to create the sleeves, adding pockets, using buttons as a closure…” - from Knit Kimono

NB: This is not the same pattern as the Noragi from the same book.
