It was believed that the ideal warrior should be able to do many things, including knitting.Since then, interest in knitting in Japan has notdisappeared, and although you are unlikely to meet samurai with knitting needles, Japanese women have comprehensively developed this art, constantly enriching the already diverse patterns with new ideas.
