"This is a translation of the legendary Japanese stitch dictionary originally published in 1992. There are 700 knit stitches and 300 crochet stitches. Japanese stitch patterns are distinct and original, and even the easiest stitches will elevate your knitting. Go on--make everything you knit just a little bit more beautiful." --Jillian Moreno, Modern Daily Knitting Blog
