DARUMA, a Japanese craft supply manufacturer with over 100 years of history. At amirisu, we have long collaborated with DARUMA—introducing their products overseas, publishing pattern books featuring their yarns, and creating various projects together.

In 2025, we present our first-ever collection dedicated entirely to crochet. In recent years, crochet has gained popularity among younger generations in Japan, and as we ventured into this world, we discovered a fresh, inspiring landscape full of creative potential. From sweaters to amigurumi, this book offers trendy and fun patterns to spark your imagination.

This collection includes nine written patterns, created by seven talented designers from around the world. The designs are full of creativity and technique, making them as enjoyable to wear as they are to make. Whether you’re looking to expand your skills or you’re already an experienced crocheter, this is a book you’ll enjoy for years to come.
