This is part of an article in Keito Dama 142 called “American Knitting Book Knitting Lesson” (アメリカのニットブックの編み方レッスン). Because the pattern is intended to help Japanese knitters reading English-language patterns, the pattern is in both English and Japanese. English speakers seeking to decipher charted patterns will probably find this very useful, since it includes both the stitch charts and written-out, line-by-line instructions.

Materials:

• Japanese size 5 knitting needles (3.6mm), both straight and DPNs
• Japanese size 4/0 crochet hook (2.5mm)
