250 Japanese Knitting Stitches. The English language version of the original stitch pattern collection first published by Hitomi Shida in 1996 and translation by Gayle Roehm.
This book was Hitomi Shida's first effort and is filled with her highly original and beautiful designs and variations on knitting classics. Shida's stitch patterns have become a driving inspiration behind many modern western knitting designs, and experienced knitters know this.
Veteran knitting instructor and Translator Gayle Roehm guides knitters through the particulars of the patterns and explains how to execute the stitches. Images of completed garments here and there help show the potential of these striking stitch designs.
In this beautifully presented stitch dictionary you'll find:
- Stitches that are perfect for borders and edgings
- Beautiful and intricate cable stitches
- Elegant popcorn stitches, from refined to bold
- Multiple variations on individual patterns.
