1000 Japanese Knitting & Crochet Stitches: The Ultimate Bible for Needlecraft Enthusiasts

Awesome resource for a knitter and/or crocheter. Cannot wait to try some of the crochet edgings. Highly recommend.

This book is amazing! It has so many different patterns that I can make into blankets or sweaters. Looking forward to getting started.

Love to knit? If you are looking for fresh ideas or need a challenge, check out this book. Such pretty patterns.

Would have been nice to have written instructions in the book as well as the charts.

Rxactly what. I wanted ! Patterns for a lot Of stitches! I am an ecperienced knitter but a beginner in crochet! Tjis is a huge help!!m. A bit confusing at first but clear once yoou learn the stmbols

Exactly what I wanted. Has many lace patterns I didn’t have and they’re more broken down in different elements, compared to the Japanese Lace Bible. There are charts only. A few written instructions would’ve been nice to make sure you’re following the charts correctly but all the symbols are explained. A must for experienced lace knitters. If you don’t like charts this isn’t for you.

great stitches overall. They are similar to those we see in western crochet with stitch variants that make them appear more delicate or intricate. Most though are just graphs of what we know. Which is not a drawback for those who prefer visual learning or charts. There is a description of every stitch used in the charts the only drawbacks are that they are photgraphed on similar backgrounds leading you to believe the stitch is closer or rather...not lacey just because you cannot see through the stitch. Also the charts can be fussy.

The instructions are amazing and above all the photographs are exceptional. The book is divided well according to type of stiches and you start looking at the book and finish looking at the whole book because it is so nice. This is one of the best knitting books I have seen. I'm not generally a crochet type person, but the crochet section is excellant too.
