Acorn Stitch Kimono 178 Vermont Fiber Pattern

Acorn Stitch Kimono (178) is a women's kimono-style cardigan knitting pattern from Vermont Fiber Designs. The Acorn Stitch looks complex but is essentially a checkerboard with yarn overs and decreases, and is easy to memorise.

The body is worked in one piece and the sleeves in the round, so the only sewing is setting in the sleeves. Close it with the I-cord belt or a shawl stick; ¾-length and long sleeve options are included.
