“Exceptionally well organized and presented, Small Knits: Casual & Chic Japanese Style Accessorieswill prove to be an extraordinary and enduringly popular addition to personal, professional, and community library needlecraft instructional reference collections.” —Midwest Book Review“The patterns are stylish, sophisticated and cool. They are accessories that transcend different styles, equally at home with cottagecore or preppy looks. This collection of 19 patterns has lots of beautiful colorwork, and the patterns are knit in mostly DK- and fingering-weight yarns. The patterns are written with a chart as their core. Just the basics are in the written part of the pattern, the majority of the directions you’ll find via the charts. They can look intimidating at first, but they are genius once you work your way through.” —Knitty.com“The extra bit of written instruction makes these patterns a nice way to try Japanese knitting patterns with a bit more hand-holding than you would usually get, so if you like these classic designs and want to give Japanese style knitting patterns a try, this would be a good book to check out.” —CraftGossip.com (Knitting)
