Photo on p.8; instructions on p.79. Pattern is in Japanese but charted using standard knitting symbols.

Materials:

  • Japanese size 7 knitting needles (4.2mm)
  • Japanese size 6/0 crochet hook (3.5mm)
  • 330g (1375m) RichMore Suvin Gold Tape
  • 410g (1640m) RichMore Farfalla

Note: pattern is worked with 2 strands held together (one of each yarn). The yardage listed above (3015m) includes both yarns; if you used a thicker yarn instead of two strands, your yardage would be approximately halved.
