Colorwork Knits Inspired by Finnish Legend!

Description

Knitted Kalevala by Jenna Kostet is a captivating knitwear collection rooted in folklore, mythology, and timeless design. Featuring 18 colorwork knitting patterns, including 12 sweaters, 2 cardigans, socks, mittens, and a hat, this book invites makers to explore the rich symbolic world of Kalevala, Finlands national epic.

Inspired by ancient Baltic-Finnic poems, mythical creatures, and natural motifs, the designs incorporate traditional colorwork techniques with a contemporary twist. You’ll find echoes of Finnish, Karelian, Scandinavian, and Baltic artistry throughout each chart, offering a refreshing alternative to Icelandic yoke sweaters.

All patterns are worked in one piece with two-color stranded colorwork, making them approachable for knitters at various skill levels. Both chart and written instructions are included, along with suggested yarns in a variety of weights.

More than just a pattern book, Knitted Kalevala is a poetic tribute to cultural storytelling through fiber.
