Knitted Kalevala II follows in the footsteps of Jenna Kostet’s first knitting book into the world of mythology, tradition and stories. This book contains 20 colourwork patterns inspired by poems from the Kalevala.
This book contains 20 colourwork patterns inspired by poems from the Kalevala, which is considered a national epic in Finland. From sweaters and cardigans to cosy accessories, this collection offers a diverse array of designs, showcasing various shapes and constructions. The stories the poems tell come to life in colourwork featured at the yoke, hem or sleeves — all worked using only two colours at a time.
“Most knitters would agree that crafting increases your happiness. Even if we aren’t rune singers, we are still part of an endless chain of tradition.” – Jenna Kostet
