The theme of this book is to let you enjoy these threads with more free ideas! Saichika, who has a reputation for creating patterns that are fun to knit and making works that take advantage of the characteristics of the material, designed about 19 items including sweaters, hats, bags, and room shoes that bring out the charm of ropey yarn.[Recommended information from the editor]Sweetly twisted, fluffy, light, and bulky. Such rope yarn is attractive for its naturalness that retains a lot of “sheep” feel. In this book, we use the standard "Arafoslopy" (extra thick) and "Rettlopy" (medium thick), but we will suggest a way to enjoy them that is a little different from the standard. This book is full of fun ideas unique to Saichika, such as the ``Shepherd Series,'' which goes from basic patterned sweaters to dresses, felt vests, and jackets.
