Knitting Basics

Sophisticated pattern with attention to detail
Sensational hand-knitted works

The light and shadows of snow-capped mountains, a child in Inuit clothing, a friendly polar bear, a cat and sheep with fluffy fur, a dense array of flowers and mushrooms, a carousel overwhelming with vibrant colors, and the classic geometric and Aran patterns of knitted accessories… As expected from Erika Tokai, famous for her witty designs, the works included in this book express a variety of materials through hand-knitting.
The bag design, which utilizes the unique shapes of foxes and hedgehogs, is also witty, and the idea of ​​hand-knitting the large knitted pattern and the fabric's characteristic check pattern is also fun.


The design is eye-catching at first glance, but it doesn't use any complicated techniques.
By utilizing the principles of horizontal and vertical color-block knitting explained in the 'Point Lesson' of this book, you can express even complex pictures or patterns through knitting.
Small ideas can also add dramatic effect.
The texture of fluffy yarn is used to create a focal point, while various embroidery techniques are used to express detailed parts, spangles are used to emphasize the gorgeousness, and fringes are added to the yoke to create an ethnic atmosphere.
Even simple techniques that involve repeating the same stitches like pillow knitting or filter knitting can be transformed into something unique by changing the material, thickness, and color of the yarn.
It provides detailed information on how to improve the overall quality by paying attention to every detail.


From knits, cardigans, and vests to bags, scarves, and hand warmers
The ways to use color patterns are endless.

This book covers the basic knitting techniques, as well as how to knit a variety of fashion items, from knitted clothing to accessories, making it a great way to try out different types of hand knitting.
Most are knitted with large needles, with crochet hooks used sparingly for making hedgehog bags and pouches, as well as for making loose-knitted needles and for joining knitted pieces.
Garments are usually knitted from the bottom up, but for this floral yoke pullover, you can also learn top-down knitting.
From simple vests that don't reduce the armhole to button-up vests, pullovers, cardigans, and jackets, you can see how changing small details like the neckline, hem, and sleeves can change the overall impression of the outfit.
A skirt finished with an elastic belt is simple to make but very practical.


As seen in the examples of applying the same floral and Aran patterns to clothing and accessories, each pattern can be applied freely.
The main characteristics are described in 'Yarns used in this book', so you can refer to it and substitute similar yarns to suit your taste or boldly change the color.
It would also be fun to add your own personality to make it even more special.
