Knitted Kalevala II continue Jenna Moist An exploration into the world of mythology, tradition and stories. It follows in the footsteps of the hugely popular knitting book published in 2022 and will appeal to knitters and those interested in folklore alike.
The book contains 20 cross-stitch patterns inspired by the poems of the Kalevala. The diverse collection includes not only sweaters and jackets but also accessories. In addition to the classic yoke, the shirts use a variety of styles and structures. The stories of the poems come to life in cross-stitch patterns that can be found on yokes, hems and sleeves – and they are all knitted with only two colors at a time.
“All knitters would probably agree that making crafts increases happiness. Even though we are not poets, we are part of an endless chain of tradition.” – Jenna Kostet
