A swatch pattern is provided for each stitch to help knitters learn the mechanics of the stitch before applying them to larger projects. The personal and home accessory projects included provide something for every level of time commitment.
A total of 23 projects are presented, including:
Cozy hats and neckwear
Head bands for warmth and style
Beautiful clutches and bags
An amazing entrelac stitch shawl
Clever bottine liners/ankle warmers
And so much more!
An introduction by Japanese knitting expert Gayle Roehm explains the stitch charts as well as the differences and similarities between Japanese and Western styles of knitting. A guide to stitch symbols and extensive lessons provide visual guidance.
With this book and a little practice, knitters who love Japanese knitwear and patterns will be ready to try their hand at the many wonderful fashions and home goods so many Western knitters love to make.
