Bottiezoocks
The Pattern
ボッティーズ+ズック
と名づけました。
「ズック」というのはオランダ語で、江戸時代後期にオランダからズック生地（厚手の生地）の洋服が伝わり、これで靴なども作られたことが由来です。
These Botties remind one of moccasins which are originally very soft and comfortable shoes. The same ist true for this two color version. Try to make them with your favorite colors and show them around!

The Designer
Miyuki san runs a knitting cafe – Knit Cafe IVY – in the cold Tohoku region of Japan, in Akita Prefecture. She opened the knit cafe in 2011 because she loved knitting with her grandmother when she was a little girl and wanted to recreate that space.
With the motto „Knitting is the way to save the world“, she continues her activities to heal and cheer up people through knitting.
