usually kimono sleeves are square, but there are also these triangular shaped, I can't find a pattern for them anywhere, because I don't know what they're called.
Help please!
Answer: You can't find a pattern because it doesn't exist. All kimono have square sleeves. Those just look like triangles because she's not holding her arms in a perfectly straight line from her shoulders. Whatever square-sleeves pattern you're using should work fine. Just make sure you get the length of the sleeves right. Those sleeves would most likely go a little past her hips if she had her arms out perfectly straight.
