If you've been knitting for a while, chances are you've stood in a bookshop and yelled, 'Why isn╞t this Japanese pattern book available in a format I can read?' Gnash your teeth no more; renowned designer Hitomi Shida has gifted us with this holy grail of stitchery, newly translated into English. --NORO Knitting Magazine

Know an expert knitter looking for a challenge? Then you gotta get 'em knitting guru Hitomi Shida's book, which includes step-by-step instructions for making 260 gorgeous and intricate stitches. --Cosmopolitan

...experienced knitters will be tempted to give it a go after paging through the handsomely photographed knit swatches, each of which is accompanied by unlabeled charts. For those who want to jump right in, there are a few patterns for socks and a hat. A black-and-white photo section that shows how to knit the stitches concludes. A feast for the eyes, and perhaps the hands. --Booklist

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s brilliant—the best knitting book I own.

M.M. · 7 May 2024

What an amazing book. I’ve just looked through the whole thing, read the stitch instructions, checked out how the charts work and am pretty sure it’s the best knitting book own (and I have so many lovely knitting books!) It’s just that this one is full of *unique* stitches, all the info needed is laid out well, the charts are clear, and the photos beautiful. It also encourages creativity by getting into pattern arrangements, which is something I’m into, but other knitters I know don’t really do—think this could really help people who so far have just be following patterns, but want to be more creative, learn how to think about pattern construction. What a lovely book!Would recommend for anyone who’s a confident chart reader.

N. · 29 September 2018

This is such a great book if you like complex, thoughtful knitting. There are so many different stitch patterns, and some ideas about how to use them. Total delight and I'm now surrounded by samples. My only reservation is the size of some of the symbols - even with my glasses on I'm struggling to tell the difference between some variations.

Had my eye on this book for a while. Wish I had ordered it when I first spotted it.Such beautiful intricate stitch patterns and so many of them!Definitely not for the beginnerThe only flaw is that the grid patterns are very small. I can see that I will have to photocopy them and enlarge them to use them but it would be worth it.Worth every penny!
