Designer Noriko Sekiguchi combines two Japanese textile traditions
the kimono shape and sashiko, an old form of Japanese running-stitch
embroidery on Indigo cotton.
While
the knit "patches" look complex, they are actually achieved
quite simply by strategically placing blue purl stitches over
white knitted stitches and framing each patch with a white running
stitch.
This jacket is actually much easier to make than it looks!
The
back of the jacket is made in two pcs. with a center seam, typical
of kimono construction.
