free Japanese weaving patterns

[dancingbarefoot]

Hi folks,

I don't know if anyone would be interested, but I stumbled across some gorgeous free Japanese weaving patterns while hunting for knitting patterns. They're by Pierrot, a Japanese yarn company. They're all charted, so they should be easy to figure out even if you don't know Japanese.

Click on any of the pictures to be taken to that pattern's page. To get the pattern itself, click on the link where it says 織り図 (next to the little pattern schematic icon) and the PDF will download.

Hope someone finds this useful!

Thank you for the link.  I have saved it to my favorites.  Looks like somethings I will definitely use.

Thanks for the link, i've bookmarked it!   

I don't know if its helpful or not, but when i'm trying to figure out pages in different languages, i use the babelfish.altavista .com page to do a 'translate page' - especially helpful for japanese since my skills with the hiragana/katakana/kanji leave a little to be desired     Example...

This was a fun translation.

I had trouble pulling up the actual weaving patterns, but I did enjoy the links.
