This renowned Japanese designer, who currently lives in northern Germany, has been knitting since she was a child. She has always enjoyed creating her own garments, so the move into design came naturally.
Midori enjoys experimenting with new stitches and constructions, as if she were drawing with her needles. Among her favourite designs are lightweight jumpers with soft textures and a lovely drape. Her patterns often offer variations to suit different body types and tastes.
