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!
