Hariett Kimono Jacket in Schachenmayr Denim Tweed – Crochet Pattern S11179 by Käte Stödter

The Hariett Kimono is a stylish crocheted kimono-style jacket designed by Käte Stödter and published by MEZ GmbH under pattern number S11179. This downloadable PDF pattern is rated easy to intermediate in difficulty and produces a relaxed, flowing silhouette inspired by the classic kimono shape. The design is worked in Schachenmayr Denim Tweed, a sport-weight yarn that lends the finished garment a casual, textured aesthetic reminiscent of denim fabric.

Garment Overview

The Hariett Kimono is a open-front, relaxed-fit jacket with a consistent total length of 86 cm across all sizes. It features a wide, comfortable silhouette with kimono-style construction, making it an accessible and rewarding project for crocheters with some experience. The pattern is available in five sizes:

• XS – fits bust 32/34 cm
• S – fits bust 36/38 cm
• M – fits bust 40/42 cm
• L – fits bust 44/46 cm
• XL – fits bust 48/50 cm

Key measurements vary by size, including the width at the bottom back (ranging from 60 cm to 76 cm), width at the bottom front (ranging from 30 cm to 38 cm), and the armhole height (ranging from 22 cm to 26 cm). The shoulder width ranges from 30 cm to 38 cm, and the neck width remains a consistent 20 cm across all sizes, with a neck height at the back of 10 cm throughout.

Techniques and Stitches Used

This pattern makes use of two primary stitch structures: a straightforward double crochet fabric for the main body sections, and a decorative basic pattern that adds textural interest. Both are worked using a 3.0 mm crochet hook.

The crochet techniques called for in this pattern include:

• Chain stitch (ch) – used for foundation chains and turning chains
• Slip stitch (sl st) – used for joining and finishing
• Single crochet (sc) – used for edging and detail work
• Double crochet (dc) – the primary stitch used for the back and front body panels

In the double crochet sections, each row begins with 3 turning chains to replace the first double crochet, a standard technique that creates a neat, even edge. The gauge for the double crochet fabric is 22 dc and 10.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm using a 3.0 mm hook.

The basic pattern introduces a lace-like, open structure by working groups of 3 double crochets separated by chain spaces, with skipped stitches creating an airy, rhythmic repeat. Row 1 of the basic pattern begins with 3 turning chains and 1 chain, then skips 3 double crochets from the previous row before working 3 double crochets into the 4th stitch, followed by a repeat of 1 chain, skip 3 stitches, and 3 double crochets. The gauge for this pattern section is 22 stitches and 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Yarn and Materials

The pattern is designed specifically for Schachenmayr Denim Tweed, a sport-weight yarn sold in 50 g balls, with each ball yielding approximately 210 metres. The yarn's tweed character gives the finished kimono a rich, tactile surface with subtle flecks of colour, evoking the look and feel of woven denim fabric in a lightweight, crocheted form.
