Knitted Kalevala is a deep dive into the enchanting designs of Jenna Kostet. Heavily inspired by Kalevala, the Baltics and Scandinavia, this poetic collection is a clear demonstration of how a simple knitted garment can tell a complex and captivating story.
Decorative colourwork stands out throughout the pages offering a wonderful alternative to the popular Icelandic sweaters. Each design is knitted seamlessly in one piece and the colourwork uses only two colours at once making them a wonderful entryway project for knitters who haven’t experimented with colourwork patterns yet. Jenna uses a variety of yarn weights and offers several options for suitable yarn subs making this a brilliant book accessible to knitters of all abilities.
Knitted Kalevala consists of 18 knitting patterns including:
- 12 sweaters
- 2 cardigans
- 2 socks
- 1 pair of mittens
- 1 hat
