Introduction
Welcome to Japanese Wonder Knitting ! Whether youre a new-ish knitter or an expert,
youll find in this book a range of techniques to play with, and some fun small projects for
practice. The book was originally published in Japan, so youll see that instructions and
patterns use a lot of graphics and illustrations, with less text than you may be used to.
Before you begin:
Please be sure to read through this introduction before you start! Th eres important
information here. Take the time to read through your selected pattern, too; lots of details
can be found among the schematics.
The book has three sections:
Fourteen varied knitting techniques, introduced with photo tutorials, symbol charts and
Point Lessons.
Patterns for small items using these techniques; theres at least one project per technique.
Knitting basics in a section at the back. If you are unfamiliar with Japanese knitting
symbols, start here. This is also where youll find the abbreviations used throughout
(p. 51). In addition, there are a few basic crochet stitches used in the finishing of some of
these projects.
Point Lessons
The Point Lessons are key to working the stitch patterns. The photos and written steps will
guide you through the symbols and the chart, and answer questions that you may have.
Work the stitch pattern as described in the Point Lesson before beginning a project.
Knitting Patterns
Youll see at a glance that these patterns look different from those youre used to. Th ey have
more pictures and fewer words. Its a logical, concise way to present a lot of information.
The items in this book arent technically difficult to knit; the challenge is in getting used to
the illustrated formats.
A typical Japanese knitting pattern conveys most of the necessary information in graphics:
Schematics are illustrations of the item youre making. They include stitch and row
counts, finished measurements, and other instructions. Also important, youll find an
arrow to show the direction of knitting.
Symbol charts: Pay close attention to all the markings on the symbol charts. Watch for
row numbers, arrows showing the direction of rows, and other hints that will help you
complete the pattern.
Line drawings illustrate finishing details: where to sew seams, where to attach buttons or
handles, and how to position an edging, for instance.
Chart Conventions
If youre new to stitch charts, keep these points in mind:
The chart represents the right side of the work. Japanese stitch symbols are drawn to
resemble the finished stitch, and once youre accustomed to them, youll see the visual
correlation.
When youre working back and forth:
On the right side, read the chart from right to left, in the same sequence that you
work the stitches. Some charts include arrows as reminders.
On the reverse (or wrong) side, read the chart from left to right, and reverse the
operation, so that your stitches will read correctly on the right side. That is, if the
chart shows a knit stitch on the right side, you know to purl on the wrong side. In
this book, weve provided definitions for wrong side operations when necessary.
If youre working in the round, read every row from right to left. Theres no need to
reverse stitches.
Stitch Symbols
Be sure you understand how to work the symbols in the chart for your project.
Definitions of the symbols can be found in two places:
The technique section at the back of the book shows how to work the most common
knit (and crochet) stitches with illustrations and explanations.
Each Point Lesson also explains any additional symbols used in projects with this
pattern. Be sure to work the swatch in the Point Lesson before working on a larger
project.
Keep in mind that a few crochet techniques are also included, such as edgings. Th e
crochet techniques used in the book can be found in the back.
Most Japanese charts use odd numbers for the right side rows, and even numbers for
wrong side rows. Pay attention! A few of the stitch patterns in this book reverse that,
with even numbered right side rows and odd-numbered wrong side rows. Stay alert.
Yarn substitution
These projects were created with Japanese yarn that may not be easily available in other
countries. The original yarn is identified for each pattern. Most likely, you will want to
substitute a different yarn. On page 50, youll find an illustrated list of the original yarns
used in these projects: weight, fiber content, meterage/yardage and so on.
To make an appropriate yarn substitution:
Check the weight of the original yarn.
Check the fiber content. Youll probably want a yarn with a similar fiber content so
your project looks like the one photographed.
Work a gauge swatch with your selected yarn to ensure that you can match the
specified stitch and row gauge for the pattern. The swatch is the most important step in
making an effective substitution. The needle size given in the pattern is only a starting
point. Depending on your knitting style, you may need a smaller or larger needle to
achieve the stated gauge.
Wonder Knitting Patterns
In this book, we introduce you to a variety of knitted patterns that may look unusual,
but are actually all made by combining basic knitting techniques. Please refer to the
Point Lessons for techniques that are hard to understand through the charts alone.
In some of the knitted swatches, weve used different colored yarns from the ones in the finished items.
In order to make the Point Lessons easy to understand, we have used different row, stitch and pattern
repeat numbers from the finished items. When you are making one of the items, please refer to their
charts and directions in the Instructions section starting on page 51.
Bubble Stitch
This stitch creates a bubble texture with a knit-one-below technique on every 6th
row. The key point is to make the distance between each pulled up stitch and the
height of each row even, to create nicely rounded bubbles.
See pages 8 and 9 for projects using this stitch.
Point Lesson
Work 6 rows in stockinette
stitch using the first color.
Change to the next color, knit
1, and insert the tip of RN into
the second stitch in row 2.
With RN in stitch, allow the
stitches in the 4 rows above
needle to drop off LN and onto
RN. Slip these stitches back
to LN.
Knit 1 stitch through all the
stitches on the left needle.
Repeat steps 13 every 4
stitches (skipping the first k1
in step 1) to the end of the
row. Do this for the second
row of each color.
Herringbone Stitch
Work two stitches together, leave one of the loops on the left needle, and work it together with
the next stitch, across the row. What characterizes the herringbone stitch is that two rows
