  • S: 23 cm
  • M: 25 cm
  • L: 27 cm
  • XL: 29 cm
  • 2XL: 31 cm

Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Create the Hexagon (Make 2)

Foundation:

1. Using two strands of yarn held together, ch 9.
2. Join with a sl st to the first ch to form a ring.

Round 1:

1. Ch 5 (counts as 1 dc and 2 ch for corner).
2. (Dc into ring, ch 5) repeat until you have a total of 6 dc, each separated by ch-5 spaces.
   (You’ll have 6 “spokes” for the 6 corners of the hexagon.)
3. Join with sl st to the 3rd starting ch.
   Save

Round 2: (Hexagon shape established)

1. Sl st into the first ch-5 sp.
2. Ch 5 (counts as 1 dc + 2 ch for corner).
3. (Dc, ch 5, dc, ch 2, dc) in each ch-5 space around.
   • So in each corner: dc, ch 5, dc (corner made).
   • In each side: ch 2, dc (forms the sides).
4. Join with sl st to 3rd ch of starting ch-5.
   Save

Round 3 and Onwards:

1. Continue in this manner, always making (dc, ch 5, dc) in every corner space to maintain 6 corners (the “Quina”/corner).
2. For every side, ch 2 between each dc to create the straight edges.
3. As you add rounds, extra side spaces will naturally appear as your hexagon increases in size.
4. Continue until the hexagon reaches the size for your chosen kimono size (see guide above).
   • S: 23 cm
   • M: 25 cm
   • L: 27 cm
   • XL: 29 cm
   • 2XL: 31 cm
   • 3XL: 33 cm
     Save

General round structure:

• Corners: (dc, ch 5, dc)
• Sides: (ch 2, dc) repeated as needed between corners
  Save

2. Joining the Hexagons

A. Fold Hexagons
Fold each hexagon so that two opposing sides form the front and back, with the remaining sides as sleeves.

B. Sew the Back

• With right sides together, seam the back from the bottom up, leaving a 10 cm (4″) opening at the top for the neck. (You may choose to leave a slightly smaller opening if you prefer.)
• Use sc or sl st through corresponding stitches on each hexagon.

C. Sew the Sleeves

• Join sleeve edges with sc or sl st seam, sewing from cuff toward the underarm, and stopping to leave an open armhole as desired (do not sew all the way, leave enough for comfortable arm mobility).

3. Finishing

• Fasten off and weave in all ends with a yarn needle.
• Block lightly if needed for clean edges and to open up the shape.
  Save

Conclusion

This easy hexagon kimono pattern is highly adjustable and beginner-friendly, making stylish loungewear or a layering piece. By working two hexagons to custom measurements and seaming together, you’re free to pick any yarn, color, or hook size.

Pattern Correction & Tips

Pattern Correction:

• Verify you always have 6 corners (with (dc, ch 5, dc)) for an even hexagon.
• Sides must always be straight: maintain the ch-2 between dcs, increasing the number of “squares” on each side as rounds grow.

Tips:

• Hold your piece with a measuring tape handy—hexagon size determines your finished garment size.
• Use a yarn that drapes well for a softer cardigan effect.
• Try different yarn weights and hook sizes for different looks—always check your hexagon size in centimeters.
• Seam with care, keeping tension even so the kimono lays flat and wears comfortably.
• Add a border or edging if desired after assembly.
