55 Fantastic Japanese Knitting Stitches - Kotomi Hayashi

From knitwear designer Kotomi Hayashi, 55 Fantastic Japanese Knitting Stitches is a hardback reference for needlework enthusiasts keen to explore Japanese-style knitting, whether for the first time or as an experienced knitter looking for fresh ideas. Across 55 stitch designs, Hayashi presents modern variations on traditional stitches alongside her own inventions, drawing on influences from knitting styles around the world.

Inside, you’ll find reversible patterns, motifs in relief for added dimension and texture, and unexpected takes on classics such as cables, basket weaves, bobbles and popcorn stitches. The book also explores stitches with unusual colour combinations, offering plenty of scope for creative experimentation. Alongside the charts typical of Japanese knitting books, each stitch includes step-by-step instructions and diagrams. To help you put techniques into practice, Hayashi includes 25 projects, with ideas for making gloves, cowls, shawls and more.
