Please note: Unless a crochet cast-on method is explicitly mentioned as being provisional—and therefore using waste yarn— it’s advisable to use the same yarn as for the body of knitting, as the crochet chain will not be removed later.

Why I Wrote This Book For me, there are two things I enjoy about knitting. Of course, making something goes without saying, but above and beyond that, one of these pleasures is to think about the interplay of colors, such as in colorwork stitch patterns. The other is to enjoy the pattern that is created simply by changing my technique when knitting in a single color such as with Aran and Gansey sweaters. All knitting is basically a combination of knit and purl stitches, which can be combined in an infinite number of stitch patterns which we thoroughly enjoy. I have acquired many stitch dictionaries over the years, but among them, there are 5 books I leaf through if I have time: 400 Knitting Stitches, Mary Thomas’ Book of Knitting Patterns, the German book Omas Strickgeheimnisse 200 bezaubernde Muster, and both the 1953 and 1973 editions of Silmus-Kudumine by Estonian knitter Claire Hallik. Many books list names for each stitch pattern, and I am attracted to these names and want to knit all of them. It’s quite fun because there are names such as “butterfly stitch” taken from the shape of the stitch pattern and names given due to the knitting technique employed. There is a lace stitch pattern I know called “frost flower.” It’s mentioned in various books under this name, so it must have been called that for a long time. When making sample swatches for the stitch patterns in this book, I approached the task with a lot of imagination. At times I found it more interesting to knit with thick yarn, at other times I wondered what would happen if I knit with thin yarn, and at others still I wondered if it was suitable for circular knitting. Also, even with stitches usually worked in a single color, I experimented with adding another color on various rows to create a stitch pattern with a different impression. I also devised stitch diagrams and knitting method illustrations that are so vital to knitters. I was particularly worried about pages featuring brioche stitches. I myself have struggled with these brioche stitch symbols for a long time, finding them strange yet unavoidable. It’s my book, so I can hardly include stitch diagrams that I don’t understand. So I added explanations to the symbols step by step, and on pages with unusual instructions, I also included a knitting illustration along with the symbol diagram so that I, too, could knit it. I introduced twenty-five simple shawls, cowls, shrugs, etc. to show the appeal of these knitted fabrics, and the rest are introduced with knitted swatches. Among these there are also some with an attractive wrong side, so I have included photos showing the wrong side. Also, while they are not stitch patterns and therefore may not stand out, I also used techniques that can be applied to other works (casting on, binding off, etc.), so please take a close look at the instruction pages. The works are all items that are very useful in my own life, especially if I make the shrugs a little smaller—they are really comfortable to wear, warm, and indispensable. Each of the shawls is basically knitted until the yarn is all used up, so even if it ends up a little short, you can fasten it with a shawl pin or a button to make the neckline firmer and increase the warmth. I hope you enjoy wearing them. —Kotomi Hayashi

Additional Information on Charts and Symbols Japanese stitch charts use certain conventions. Read through this section before beginning to ensure that you’re familiar with how the information is presented.

Chart Basics

The stitch patterns in this book are presented as charts, using symbols to describe each stitch. The single most important thing to remember about working from charts is this (in bold for emphasis): The chart shows the right side of the work. It’s a visual representation of what your work will look like when it’s done. Each symbol describes what the stitch will look like on the right side, not necessarily what you execute. For example, to create a knit stitch on the right side, you must purl on the reverse side. If you’re knitting back and forth: • On the right side, read the chart from right to left, in the same sequence that you work the stitches. • On the reverse (or “wrong”) side, read the chart from left to right, and reverse the stitches, so that your stitches will show up correctly on the right side. • A few charts include some patterning on the wrong side. Look for a footnote or a definition in “additional symbols” to tell you how to work the WS version of the stitch. If you’re knitting in the round, read every row from right to left. There’s no need to reverse stitches. Odd-numbered rows are RS and even-numbered rows are WS. The first row of each chart is the cast-on row, almost always shown as knit and indicated with “CO.” Row numbers appear on the right side of the chart, and stitch

4  55 Fantastic Japanese Knitting Stitches

numbers at the bottom. The rightmost column and the bottommost row are not stitches, but holders for the numbers. Notice that only the repeated stitches and rows are numbered, and the repeat may not begin in the lower right corner. There’s a heavy line around the repeat on the chart, as well. If there are stitches to the right of the repeat, use those stitches to begin your item, and mirrorimage them on the left after the end of the last repeat. These conventions apply to the stitch patterns illustrated on pages 7 to 63; the repeats and heavy lines are not included in the charts for the projects. The charts for the projects may include a gap, vertical and/ or horizontal. There isn’t enough space to include every stitch, so the gap tells you to “carry on as established.”

Symbol Basics

Japanese stitch symbols are drawn to resemble the finished stitch, and once you’re accustomed to them, you’ll see the visual correlation. The stitch symbols in this book are defined in a couple of places: next to the appropriate chart, or in the “Additional Symbols” table on page 96. In almost all charts, there are lots of blank boxes that form the “background” of the stitch pattern. Check the key at the bottom left corner to find how to read the blank. For instance: t ells you that a blank box looks like a knit stitch on the right side. tells you that a blank box looks like a purl stitch on the right side. This convention keeps the chart cleaner and easier to read – your eye can focus on what you have to do, without a lot of visual “noise” from the background stitches . Remember to think of this as what the RS of your knitting will look like.

Slip Stitch Cables An interesting way of knitting by incorporating slip stitches into cable (crossed) stitches.

Cowl Wristwarmers

A knitted fabric made from a combination of cable knitting and slip stitch. Since it uses two colors, the slipped stitches appear clearly on the surface like a chain stitch. This chart illustrates how to work the stitch back and forth. Work a row in one color, then slide your work to the other end of the needle and work the next row in the new color in the same direction. Knitting in the round is recommended for this knitted fabric. This is because the stitch pattern moves diagonally, so if you knit it flat, the pattern will lose its shape at the edges, while if you knit it in the round, you don’t have to worry about it. Thinking about how to use the finished product is one of the pleasures of making it. This chart shows a version of the slip stitch cable worked over two stitches. The illustration below uses three stitches, but the stitch manipulation is the same. Suggested yarns: Puppy Princess Anny, Puppy Lecce Instructions: page 66

From both the front and back sides, each row is slipped and cabled, but the cabled stitches are alternated for a basketweave effect. Knit carefully so that the lengths of yarn you pull up are of the same length. The edge is finished with the familiar i-cord bind-off method. (Same knitting method as no. 4.)

Petite Shawl

When knit up in a vegetable-dyed handspun yarn, the knitted fabric resembles the curly fleece of Astrakhan cloth (lamb fur). Attach loops and buttons to the petite shawl and wrap it tightly around your neck for a very warm and easy-to-use piece. The back side has a completely different design, so you can enjoy both sides. I also recommend knitting it in different colors to coordinate with your wardrobe.

Bobble & Popcorn Stitches By increasing from 1 to 5 stitches, knitting several rows, then knitting the 5 stitches together, you can create rounded shapes. By varying the number of stitches worked, how to work them, and the stitch pattern, you can create a variety of stitch patterns.

Shrug

A lovely knitted fabric that pops out like popcorn. The rounded bump created by increasing from 1 to 5 stitches and then knitting 5 stitches together is worked in purl stitch. The round shape is No.旧55 emphasized by alternating the popcorn stitches. When I combined solid and gradient yarn, it resulted in a fun knitted fabric. The ribbing on the edge is the somewhat unusual Icelandic bind-off (page 70). It’s invisible yet elastic, which makes it comfortable to wear.

Shawl

This is an interesting knitted fabric with alternating bumps. The bumps are knitted in the same way as in No. 11, but the resulting knitted fabric is both similar and different. The front and back look different, so it's a nice knitted fabric even if you roll it up. The method of increasing from one stitch is a little tricky, so please look closely at the illustrations on page 15. To work 5 stitches together, you must insert the needle through all 5 stitches at the same time, which makes it difficult to work the stitch. Instead, slip the 5 stitches to a crochet hook knitwise, YO and pull the hook through all 5 stitches at once.

A design where the bumps created via increasing No.16 from 1 to 5 stitches are arranged in a circle to form a flower. Since this is a single motif, I tried it using it for fingerless gloves. I also recommend it for hats and sweaters.

Stitches that line up in columns form the basis of ribbing. Fasten this with a button and enjoy it as an accessory. The choice will change the style, so the point is what kind of button you choose. Here, I chose a button that matches the color of the yarn.

Brioche Striped Shawl

I designed a shawl with a brioche stitch pattern that forms lines. This is an unusual method of employing brioche stitch, so please look carefully at the illustrations. If you make a mistake working brioche stitches, you’ll be in a cold sweat figuring out how to fix them, so knit carefully stitch-by-stitch. The triangular edging is a little different at the beginning and end of the shawl. First, we knit the required number 旧No.105then マフラー of triangles, we pick up stitches and work in pattern stitch, and finally we finish by knitting triangles instead of binding off.

Shrug

The shrug has warm shoulders and back, and it’s nice and snug if you make it slightly smaller—you won’t want to put it down during the cold season. The sleeves and body are knitted in the same manner, but the configuration is slightly different. Since there are three yarn-overs, the knitted fabric looks like a waffle with a three-dimensional effect. It also has elasticity, making it a little thicker and warmer. If you knit this with a thin yarn, the slipped stitches will look like lace and the knitted fabric will have a different impression, so please give it a try.

I used the same stitch pattern as for the shawl on page 24, but when I tried using a different color for the brioche stitch, the impression was completely different. The resulting pattern will differ depending on which row/round the color is employed, so please try it out until you are satisfied with the results.

Circular Knitting Instructions Recently, I feel that it has become mainstream to use circular needles exclusively for magic loop, such as when knitting small items in the round. However, when knitting a large item such as a sweater, knit using a circular needle in the appropriate length. For the cowls in this book, a 16" (40 cm) needle is a little difficult to use, while a 24" (60 cm) needle is a little too long and not very comfortable to work with. Even if it is knit with magic loop with a 32" (100 cm) circular needle, there is not enough slack in the loop, making it difficult to knit. I also tried the method of placing half the stitches on one circular needle and the other half on a second circular needle, but this is also a little unstable, probably due to the knitted fabric. Therefore, first cast on using the 24" (60 cm) circular needle. When you’re ready to join in the round, start knitting with a second circular needle of the same size. If you do it this way, alternate needles each round. I decided to knit in the round— that is, using two circular needles as if they were straight needles. This method is comfortable and problem-free! This is my recommended knitting method. Please give it a try.

Cowl Fingerless Gloves

This mysterious and adorable pattern that resembles sea angels is not so complicated to knit if you break it down into steps. Once you do that, you’ll be able to knit it skillfully. If you knit it flat (back-and-forth in rows), the pattern repeat on the edges will be incomplete, but if you knit it in the round, it won’t be a problem. I recommend knitting in the round because you can enjoy the knitting without paying attention to the transition of the rounds. The fingerless gloves are also made easier to wear if you knit the thumbs in the round. Suggested yarns: Hamanaka Amerry Instructions: page 80

These gloves with a light relief-like floral stitch pattern are a real gem. The knitting schematic is likely unfamiliar to you, but the places where there is a grid are the places where the stitches will be. If you look closely, the flowers will stand out, so please try it out. If you want to work an entire item in this stitch pattern, I recommend working in the round, but it’s cute even if you use it as a lone motif, isn’t it?

Large Shawl

A generously sized shawl knitted with thick yarn is just the thing for a cold wind. It has a knit fabric structure in which a stitch pattern is created by crossing 1 st over 1 st, 1 st over 2 sts, or 2 sts over 1 st, also varying between knit or purl for neighboring stitches. A variety of stitch patterns can be created by including cable stitches in fabric comprising only simple knit and purl stitches. I have varied the stitch pattern as I knit, but to avoid changing the number of stitches, try recalculating the number of stitches for the selected stitch pattern.

Shawl Fingerless Gloves

A lovely knit fabric featuring a small lace pattern set inside the ribbing. The shawl is made of a slightly thicker yarn, while the glove is made of a thinner yarn. This stitch pattern actually uses k2tog and SSK (or SKP), not true cable stitches. However, the stitches are slanted, so it’s simple to knit yet cable-like. The decreases are compensated for by yarn-overs, which create a small lace pattern. Suggested yarns: No. 38: Puppy Shetland, No. 39 Puppy British Fine Instructions: page 88

The pleasures of a 1-over-1 cable stitch The simplest cable knitting is the 1-over-1 cable crossing that makes a pattern with two stitches. The right crossing and left crossing—that is, whether the stitches cross over to the left or to the right—are alternated every row or round, and while they cross at the same position, the impression they give is quite different. If you cable on each row/round at the same position, you will get a pattern resembling staggered stripes. If you want to change the crossing position for each row/round, enjoy using colors. By combining colorwork with cable stitches, you will notice the previously unnoticed structure of your knitting. Namely, the pattern appears one row/round below. If you pay attention to this while knitting, a nice design will appear, and you will start to feel that cable knitting is boring with only one color.

Triangular Shawl

No. 50 No.160

This is a cute pattern which combines a simple lace pattern with a stitch pattern that is made by creating floats that carry across the surface without being knit. The triangular shape is formed by starting to knit from the bottom center. The edging is simply worked in garter stitch. Suggested yarns: Teoriya Wool Roving Loop Instructions: page 90

Cartouche Shawl

A honeycomb-like pattern created by alternately knitting the yarn carried across the front. Whether knit in one color or in stripes, knit it to suit your mood. When knitting stripes, the yarns that cross will be in two colors, creating a different atmosphere. Two colors are used here, but if you use more colors, it will yield a more complicated knitted fabric and it will be fun. While knitting, wrap it around your body from time to time, and when it reaches the length you like, knit ribbing along the edges to finish it.

V Stitches Elongated stitches created by winding yarn around the needle and knitting Knitted fabric where the yarn floats are arranged to create a V shape

56  55 Fantastic Japanese Knitting Stitches

This V-shaped stitch pattern is made up of elongated (drop) stitches. It depends on a V shape made by moving the legs of the elongated stitches in the same way as for slip stitches and catching them on the last row of the stitch repeat. Prepare two colors of yarn, then experiment a little to see which yarn to use for your V-shaped stitches to make the pattern pop best It’s a little more difficult, but try using the picot cast-on edge (page 95).

The method for knitting this V-shaped stitch using an elongated (drop) stitch is the same as on the previous page, but if you add a knit stitch to the base fabric, it will look like a ridge, which is also interesting. You can alternate the placement of the V shape as shown in the picture, or you can put them in the same place (as on the previous page). The edging is a checkered pattern composed of knit and purl stitches. Suggested yarns: Puppy Princess Anny Instructions: page 94

“Books to Span the East and West” Tuttle Publishing was founded in 1832 in the small New England town of Rutland, Vermont [USA]. Our core values remain as strong today as they were then—to publish best-in-class books which bring people together one page at a time. In 1948, we established a publishing outpost in Japan—and Tuttle is now a leader in publishing English-language books about the arts, languages and cultures of Asia. The world has become a much smaller place today and Asia’s economic and cultural influence has grown. Yet the need for meaningful dialogue and information about this diverse region has never been greater. Over the past seven decades, Tuttle has published thousands of books on subjects ranging from martial arts and paper crafts to language learning and literature—and our talented authors, illustrators, designers and photographers have won many prestigious awards. We welcome you to explore the wealth of information available on Asia at www.tuttlepublishing.com.
