Shetland lace is a traditional form of knitted lace crafted from wool yarn, originating from the Shetland Islands in Scotland.

This is the first collection of works by an author recognized as Japan’s leading expert in the craft—an expert who has even won the Grand Prix twice at competitions held in the Shetland Islands themselves.

Surprisingly, these beautiful, intricate patterns are composed of simple stitches, primarily garter stitch combined with yarn-overs.

The book features 12 original designs—including veils, shawls, stoles, and scarves—meticulously knitted from ultra-fine wool yarn.

It covers the author’s personal journey with Shetland lace, the fundamentals of the knitting technique, and patterns designed for hand-spun yarn.

Everything from basic techniques to finishing touches is explained through clear, step-by-step photographs.
