Updated Kimono Pattern.
July 14, 2008
Edit: There was an error on the math of the expanded sizes….so, the pattern has been updated again as of 16 July, 2008. Sorry for the confusion!

The Simple Kimono Wrap (version 2) is officially updated.
The pattern now includes:
- Expanded sizing up to a Youth 8.
- Measurements in cm as well as inches.
- Added photos & notes of various kimonos, emphasizing the neck area.
- An entire page devoted to the binding.
I hope this makes it easier for everyone. As always, let me know if you have any difficulty with the pattern. Please add your photos to the Simple Kimono Wrap Flickr group.

That is so very kind of you to share your pattern with us. I can’t wait to make a few. Thank you.
Thanks for the updated kimono. I can’t wait to make my first one!
Thanks so much for sharing … I know a little girl that’s going to be so happy to get one of these.
Thank you so much for posting the larger sizes! I have made 6 kimonos so far! I am addicted and they are getting rave reviews with my family! My son (who is 3) has been begging for a train kimono – so with the larger sizes now – that is tonight’s project! I think the ‘Sara(h)s’ in this group like the kimono – three of us in a row!
Look at all the Sarahs! Lol……
Don’t forget to post photos in the Flickr group!
Oh I just love seeing Squidge’s little kimono! Great fabric choice (again) and love the packaging.
oh, goodie!
[gonna get me some more of that]
What a beautiful pattern! I look forward to making one for my daughter. I’m sure she’ll love it! Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for the new tutorial. I made one in for my 3 year old by guessing the dimensions and it turned out OK but now I have proper measurements I can try again! Thank you..
You’re welcome, feel free to email me if you have any questions.
And don’t forget to post your finished kimonos in the Flickr group!
that is really cool! i’m going to have to try and download it via high speed internet since i’ve still got dial up at home.
i can’t wait to make a few. I love the ones you’ve made!
thanks for the tute!
You’re welcome! The file is about 3.2MB, if you have trouble, I can also email it to you.
it looks great! now i just need a kid to dress..
just lovely….
it’s great that you put the time into perfecting this tutorial. i thought it was very user friendly and easy to understand. like i said before, it is so much better than the martha stewart kimono pattern. Here’s the link for her pattern: i’ve already made your kimono and have posted it to the group (mine is the orange one). Thanks again!
I’m trying to download the pattern, but I’m getting an error: 404: File not Found.
Hmmm…. I’m not having a problem at this computer. Try downloading it here:
