Synopsis

First published in Japanese in 1992 and now out of print in that original edition, this classic dictionary gathers 700 original knitting stitch patterns and 300 original crochet patterns. The collection spans a wide range of styles and motifs, including lacy, cable, Aran, Fair Isle, Nordic and ethnic patterns, alongside geometric, botanical and animal designs.

Clear stitch diagrams and step-by-step guidance show how to work more than 60 knitting stitches and over 40 crochet stitches, with each chart indicating the pattern repeat. Gayle Roehm’s introduction is designed to help non-Japanese knitters navigate differences between Japanese and Western approaches to knitting and crochet, making it a practical resource for knitters and crocheters.
