The pattern has not been test knitted by anyone, so I apologize if there is a mistake, and I would appreciate hearing from anyone who finds a mistake. Thank you!
Amenbo is a Japanese word meaning a water strider. Doesn’t the pattern look like Amenbo skating on top of the water? I now think Amenbo is kind of a scary bug that I enjoyed looking at when I was a kid. I thought Amenbo was very cute! Maybe I was a strange kid lol
