Japanese yarn company with hundreds of free knitting, crochet, and weaving patterns.

ENGLISH-LANGUAGE PATTERNS are no longer available: Please see Pierrot Yarns English for the available patterns. Pierrot Yarns discontinued its translation program effective April 1, 2020.

Resizing info available here.

The Japanese patterns are entirely charted, so you don’t need to know Japanese to use them. However, feel free to ask for help in the Japanese knitting and crochet group.

Note: If you download a Pierrot Yarns pattern PDF and it’s blank, the problem is that Adobe Reader needs Japanese font support enabled on your computer to show the knitting/crochet symbols. If Adobe Reader asks permission to install Japanese, accept and it will automatically begin. If it does not ask, install directly from the Adobe Reader language pack website.
