The Japanese word kimono translates to “thing to wear.” So it’s perfectly correct to say you’ve knitted kimono for your feet.

Simple to knit and elegant to wear, Kimono slippers work up quickly and require almost no finishing. You can observe Japanese tradition by matching your Kimono to the seasons of the year: dark for winter, pale for spring, bright for summer, and russet for autumn.

Note: Slippers are worked at a firmer gauge than that suggested by the yarn manufacturer.

Construction: Slippers are worked from heel to toe.
