55 Fantastic Patterns. A Japanese Practical Guide by Kotomi Hayashi

«Once you realize that knitting in one color and in the same way is terribly boring… After all, you can literally draw with needles: lines, checks, circles, squares, and even bird tracks! So why not have some fun?» — Kotomi... Hayashi

Just add one stitch to a regular pattern, and a wild flower will bloom on the knitted fabric. Pick it up, pull it out — and you will get a hexagonal kagome grid. Close the stitches in the Icelandic way and blow up reality with caramel «popcorn»!

It’s just fantastic!
• Delightful double-sided patterns — two garments in one!
• Patterns with relief motifs that add volume and texture to any item.
• Amazing variations of classic patterns: braids, waffles, bobbles, and much more.
• Inspiring experiments with color and texture combinations.
• Large, convenient diagrams, step-by-step instructions, and author tips.
• Energy, enthusiasm, and ease of learning from the guru of Japanese knitting!

«A strikingly relevant use of color! Fantastic beauty. It’s so bold and fresh… Finally, we have a translation of Kotomi Hayashi's book!» — Gail Rem, knitting instructor, American translator of Japanese knitting star Hitomi Shida
