A haori (how-ree) is a traditional Japanese garment which makes a beautiful and very wearable garment.

I used a silk/cotton blend for my jacket, but a wool would be an excellent choice.

The finished jacket has a 48 inch circumference, but can be made larger with side panels (instructions included), a traditional Japanese technique for adjusting size.
Yardage given is for the main colour - each contrast colour requires one skein.
