Description
Beautiful and intricate stitch patterns, always shown in a chart and patterns in a schematic with rows of numbers, have inspired designers and knitters for years. The Japanese stitch bibles use international symbols, so you don’t need to know Japanese to understand them. You will learn how to read patterns, understand charts and the most important signs. The remaining time will be spent
knitting swatches and studying Japanese magazines such as “Let’s Knit Series” with its own Couture series, “Knitting Around the World” and “Keito Dama”. Access the world of Japanese knitting patterns to discover new inspiration. I will also show my Japanese inspired designs and share other tips such as useful websites and online stores.
