Book - 1980, Hiroko Fujiki, Easy Knitting

Nihon Vogue (Japan Vogue) has published dozens of Japanese magazines related to knitting and machine knitting. This magazine features the designs of Hiroko Fujiki, who says he likes to design easy-to-knit patterns with a contemporary feel. There are 27 patterns, all for women, but the magazine is notable also for the detailed instructions it provides for setting up your knitting machine. See the photos for some of the designs in this issue. If you're not certain if you can "read" Japanese patterns, see our guide, here.
