Knitted Kalevala II by Jenna Kostet

 Knitted Kalevala II follows Jenna Kostet’s first knitting book, Knitted Kalevala, an international bestseller published in 2022. Continuing her journey into the world of mythology, tradition and stories, this sequel promises to captivate knitters and folklore enthusiasts alike.

This book contains 20 colorwork patterns inspired by poems from the Kalevala, considered a national epic in Finland. From sweaters and cardigans to cosy accessories, this collection offers various designs showcasing various shapes and constructions. The poems' stories come to life in colorwork featured at the yoke, hem or sleeves — all worked using only two colors 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.
