Basic Steps
Follow these steps to begin the creation of your kimono:
- Create Hexagons: Start by crocheting two hexagons. The size will vary based on the kimono size you desire. A sample size is used in the example, resulting in smaller hexagons.
- Fold Hexagons: Once completed, fold each hexagon in half to form an “L” shape.
- Assemble: Align the two “L” shapes with openings facing each other.
- Join Sleeves: Use the slip stitch method to crochet the tops of the sleeves together.
- Neck Opening: Add a row of granny clusters along the center back to form the neck opening.
- Back Seam: Finally, slip stitch the back seam together.
Detailed Instructions
Starting Your Hexagons

- Chain 2 and create 6 granny clusters, with each cluster consisting of 3 double crochets.
- Chain 1 between clusters for spacing.
- Complete the round with a slip stitch in the second chain from the bottom and turn your work.
Increasing Rounds
- Second Round: In each chain-1 space, make 2 granny clusters and chain 1 between clusters. Join and turn your work as previously described.
- Third Round: Make one granny cluster in the chain-1 spaces along the sides and two in each corner space, with a chain-1 between clusters. Continue as before.
