The design on the neck panel reminds michiyo of the way tree nuts grow between leaves on trees, which is why she named this pattern Kinomi, the Japanese word for trees nuts. The pattern is written for two lengths. The images show the shorter version, whilst the longer version is designed to cover the hip. Kinomi is worked in pieces separately from the bottom up. The neck band is made in two pieces in a contrasting color with the ends grafted and then sewn onto the body. Ribbing is added to the armholes and the piece is finishing with light steaming. This is a very easy pattern with minimal shaping.
