Knitted Kalevala
Knitted Kalevala by Jenna Kostet
This book includes 18 knitting patterns – sweaters, cardigans and accessories – inspired by Kalevala. Considered a national epic in Finland, Kalevala contains old poems full of Baltic-Finnic mythology, ancient symbols, mythical creatures and nature. These as well as other Finnish, Karelian, Scandinavian and Baltic influences can be seen in the decorative colourwork patterns of the designs.
All the designs are knitted in one piece, and the colourwork uses only two colours at the same time. The patterns use a variety of lighter and heavier yarns.
