Though written entirely in Japanese, there are clear charts to aid the Adventurous Knitter.

Modern knits for young, ranging from scarves and arm-warmers to shrugs and wraps - in both knit and crochet. Easy knits are done in heavier fancy yarns, finer cable and lace knits in dk to worsted type yarns.

The chapters are

• Knitting lesson - lots of excellent visual illustrations: explaining shortrows, increasing for sleeves, picking up stitches around necklines, and seaming garment pieces.
• Simple Knits - using variegated yarns, crocheted shawls, a crossover vest, simple sweaters, scarves and hats.
• Knit Komono - an aran wrap and armwarmers, striped scarves, and neckwarmers.
• Crochet Motifs - crocheted bags, wraps, and a sweater
• Crochet - jackets, lacey tops and sweaters
• Technical Guide - illustrated instructions for crochet and knitting for the symbols used in the patterns
• Amikomi Knit - accessories and sweaters in Fair Isle, many using heavier yarns for a modern look, with technical illustrations for stranding techniques
• Cowichan Knit - chunky sweaters and vest, plus lots of hats using Cowichan motifs
• Aran Knit - aran scarves, wraps, and sweaters

Each garment is fully charted with clear schematics.

NOTE: As with many Japanese garment designs, they are often only charted for one size, and the knitter has to re-calculate for their desired size.
