PREORDER NOW FOR AUGUST 16TH PUBLICATION
Knitted Kalevala II follows in the footsteps of 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, which is considered a national epic in Finland. From sweaters and cardigans to cosy accessories, this collection offers a diverse array of designs, showcasing various shapes and constructions. The stories the poems tell 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
“Jenna’s designs are bold and gorgeous, evoking a strong sense of tradition in an exciting and modern way. I love her ability to balance interesting, fun to knit details with a refined aesthetic. This book is a must have for fans of colourwork!” — Caitlin Hunter, knitwear designer
