Kaori by Kaori Okumura knitwear is unique because of the way that the garments are constructed. Kaori has been developing the technique of finger-knitting/finger crocheting since 2002. By definition, Kaori’s method only uses her fingers to create the knitwear. Kaori doesn’t use knitting needles or hooks. The only exception is when buttons and labels are sewn on. But there is another important point which makes Kaori’s creations different.The majority of knitwear is made by making the individual parts first. They are then assembled using the normal clothes making process. Sweaters, for example, are created as a flat ‘T’ shape. The wearer’s body is expected to create the shape for the sweater.
