Tanya Alpert's pattern book Haiku Knits features knitwear inspired by the elegance and simplicity of Japanese design.

Including 25 patterns, the designs take inspiration from natural elements such as the ocean, snow, wind, stream, flowers and the various lights of the day. Create a Chrysanthemum kimono-syle cardigan, a Clear Water lacy scarf, a Seaweed asymmetric tunic and tie, Hazy Moon ethereal scarf, and a gorgeous Lantern Floating softly felted top and skirt. Featuring clothing and accessories, there are big and small projects for every skill level.

Pick up your sticks and take them on an oriental journey across Japan with this delightful pattern book.
