Happy Knitting ハッピーニッティング 棒針で編む動物と暮らしのかわいいモチーフ100
Knitting motif patterns have never looked this cheerful. In Happy Knitting, Japanese knitter Hiroko Ibuki collects 100 small motifs worked on knitting needles, from lions, elephants and cats to ice cream cones, umbrellas and snowmen. Each motif is knitted as a neat swatch you can combine, repeat or sew into projects, so the book works as both a design library and a playful project book.
A Whole Library of Cute Knit Motifs in One Book
Every spread shows the finished swatch, a clear chart and a short note on colors, so you can pick up any motif and start. The motifs range from flat colorwork to little textured details like bobbles, ribbon bows and raised ice cream, which add a charming 3D touch.
- Swatch photographs and color charts side by side for each motif
- Step-by-step how-to pages for special techniques such as bobbles and ribbons
100 Cute Animal and Everyday Life Knit Motif Designs
- 🦁 Animal knitting patterns — lions, sheep, elephants, foxes, deer, dogs, horses and cats
- 🦆 Birds and water creatures — swallows, flamingos, ducklings, swans, owls and penguins
- 🍦 Everyday life knit motifs — handbags, high heels, umbrellas, sunglasses, ice cream and cupcakes
- ⛄ Seasonal knitting charts — Christmas trees, snowmen, raindrops, stars and hot air balloons
- 🔤 Alphabet and number charts — knit letters in upper and lower case, plus border patterns
The second half of the book turns motifs into projects, including a tote bag, a vest, a cat cushion, a tea cozy and a needle roll.
Endless Ways to Use Your Knitted Motifs
Knit a few motifs and sew them into a cushion cover, a tote bag or a patchwork blanket. Use a single animal to decorate a hat or a pair of mittens, or knit the alphabet to personalize a gift. Because each motif is charted, you can change the colors to match your yarn stash or favorite palette.
- Stitch several motifs together into a colorful patchwork cushion
- Personalize a gift with the knit alphabet charts
Are These Knitting Charts Good for Beginners?
The book includes illustrated technique pages, so knitters who know knit and purl can learn colorwork and simple 3D details as they go. Beginners can start with a single motif swatch, while experienced knitters will enjoy combining motifs into bags, cushions and wearable pieces. It is a gentle way to practice stranded colorwork and intarsia.

It is a relaxing, mindful way to turn leftover yarn into something playful, and each finished motif is a joyful little reward.
