Since nothing says Fall like beautiful leaves textured crochet design. I made another kimono with the interleaved pattern you can find it in this Turning Leaves Tunic.
This casual but chic kimono is crocheted by dark brown shade – mercerized cotton yarn so it’s a lightweight outerwear for any occasion.

Materials: ( I used )
3.5 mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: dark brown ( about 400 gr for the sample – size L/ 100 gr or 382 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂
Special stitch used:
V stitch ( dc, ch 1, dc into same stitch or space )
2dc – V stitch ( 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc into same stitch or space )
This crochet Turning Leaves Kimono pattern fits size 3XL ( chest size: 48 to 52 inches )
( 6 skeins of the yarn indicated is recommended )
Skill level: Intermediate
Gauge: 12 double crochet stitches x 4 rows = approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
