55 Fantastic Patterns. Japanese Practical Guide by Kotomi Hayashi

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

Add just one stitch to a regular pattern, and a wild flower will bloom on your knitted fabric. Pick it up, pull it out — and you’ll get a hexagonal kagome lattice. Close the stitches in an Icelandic way and explode reality with caramel «popcorn»!

It's simply fantastic!
