Knitted Kalevala - Jenna Kosted
This book includes 18 knitting patterns - sweaters, cardigans and accessories - inspired by the Kalevala.
Considered a national epic in Finland, Kalevala contains old poems full of Baltic-Finnish mythology, ancient symbols, mythical creatures and nature. These and other Finnish, Scandinavian and Baltic influences can be seen in the decorative color patterns of the patterns. They are also a wonderful alternative to the popular Icelandic sweaters.
All patterns are knitted in one piece and the color work uses only two colors at a time, making them accessible to all levels of knitters. Patterns use a variety of lighter and heavier yarns and include several suitable yarn options.
Jenna Kostet is a writer and knitwear designer known for her enchanting patterns,
as well as an author who has published numerous historical novels and children's books in Finland.
