I Am a Teacher: Teami no Kiso is a 1986 Famicom Disk System program published by Royal Kougyou for the Japanese market. It’s the direct follow-up to I Am a Teacher: Super Mario no Sweater, released just a month earlier, but this time without any licensed Nintendo characters — instead it focuses purely on teaching the basics of hand-knitting, walking users through techniques and patterns on-screen rather than in a printed manual.
How to Use It
This is educational software rather than an action game, so there’s no scoring or win condition. You step through its on-screen menus and lessons using the D-pad to move the cursor and select options, with the A button to confirm a choice. In the browser here, that maps to the arrow keys to navigate and Z to confirm, with Enter for Start where a menu calls for it.
Because it’s a piece of 1980s Japanese instructional software rather than a translated release, all of its text and knitting terminology appear in Japanese.
