Release Date: September 7, 2018Language: JapaneseBook Length: 176 pages "Tuck stitch" refers to the basic raised stitch technique in knitting. Raised stitch, which is also fundamental to "brioche knitting (double-sided raised English rib stitch)," has been expanded into the world of patterned knitting by Nancy, known as the "Queen of Brioche Knitting." By using two colors of yarn, increasing the number of raised rows, switching knit stitches to purl stitches, and changing the number of repetitions, you can enjoy patterns with completely different appearances. Even though the patterns are simple, they are sure to allow each knitter's individuality to shine through. This book includes 97 patterned stitches that expand the possibilities of raised stitches in unprecedented ways, as well as 8 other projects. Basic raised stitch techniques are carefully explained with photographs. It also includes hints for creating new patterns and techniques for knitting in the round, making it a valuable resource for your own pattern creation and design inspiration. ■Table of ContentsIntroductionThe Charm of Raised StitchHow to Knit Raised Stitch Stitchionary Pattern CollectionBefore You Begin KnittingHow to Read the Pattern CollectionSingle Tuck StitchDouble Tuck StitchTriple Tuck StitchQuadruple Tuck StitchCombination Tuck StitchVariation Tuck StitchExtreme Tuck Stitch ProjectsChain MailAiméeAixPowderpuffSprigPersimmonPloversRetro Check
