Our staff members Nakanaga (pictured bottom right) and Suzuki (pictured top left) knitted this! (Actually, Nakanaga started knitting it during her business trip to the US last year and finished it in December, while Suzuki finished it in November...!)
The yarn used was the designated Airy Wool Alpaca yarn, and both of us knitted size 2 and used 3 balls. (The needles are Use a JP 6/0, US E/4 (3.5mm) crochet hook .
"Even though a beautiful pattern can be created with only a few stitches, I was impressed with the finished product, which I couldn't believe was made with a crochet hook. Another great thing about this pattern is that it's a sentence pattern, so you don't have to count the stitches while you're knitting." This pattern is also recommended for those trying a crochet sentence pattern for the first time, so please give it a try.
