This exciting new Japanese stitch dictionary is from the popular Japanese designer - Yoko Hatta. Though this is her first book in English, her work already has an extensive following in Western countries.
The superbly designed and photographed book represents Japanese knitting at its finest and includes 200 gorgeous patterns - a delightful selection of multipurpose knit-and-purl, lace, cable, Aran and rib & twist stitches in solids and motifs.

Sample projects give knitters a chance to practice Hatta's techniques. These include:
- Mini mufflers using knit-and-purl stitches
- A cosy scallop-edged scarf using lace stitches
