This is the first new collection of knit works by Mariko Mikuni in four years. The book features 19 items, ranging from quick weekend projects like mittens, hats, and detachable collars, to more complex pieces like Fair Isle cardigans and Aran sets that are fulfilling to knit.
The book is divided into three sections: a journey in knitwear set in the early spring of Hokkaido where snow still lingers, an index section that allows you to enjoy the beautiful stitches and introductions to the works by the author, and a section with knitting charts that include key processes.
