Amazing Japanese Crochet Stitches - Keiko Okamoto

From Tuttle Publishing, Amazing Japanese Crochet Stitches by Keiko Okamoto and Cassandra Harada is a paperback stitch dictionary and design resource for crocheters who enjoy exploring texture, shape and dimension. With 156 stitches to discover, it offers plenty of scope for recreating delicate lace effects in creamy neutrals or experimenting with bolder, more unusual stitch forms.

Alongside the stitch library, seven practice projects invite you to put techniques into use, from two elegant lacy shawls and two flowery necklaces to a bohemian vest in neutral tones. For more expressive makes, there’s also a wildly embellished rainbow scarf and a distinctive bag project. A technical section demonstrates stitches step by step, helping readers become familiar with crocheting in the Japanese style, making this a considered choice for experienced crocheters and a useful reference for needlecraft enthusiasts.
