Open the pages of Jenna Kostet's Knitted Kalevala and embark on a journey to Northern Europe! Immerse yourself in Finnish, Scandinavian, and Baltic cultures. Create stunning colorwork pieces inspired by the Finnish national epic, Kalevala. Inside, you'll find 18 knitting patterns for sweaters, cardigans, and accessories, all drawn from Baltic-Finnic mythology, ancient symbols, mythical creatures, and nature. These designs are suitable for knitters of all levels, with one-piece knitting and colorwork using only two colors at a time. The patterns offer a variety of yarn weights and suggest suitable yarn options!

Using this knitting book is easy. First, pick a pattern that catches your eye from the 18 options available. Make sure to choose the right type of yarn according to the suggestions in the book, as different patterns may need different weights of yarn. When starting to knit, follow the step - by - step instructions for each pattern. Since most of the knitting is done in one piece and the colorwork only uses two colors at a time, it's quite beginner - friendly. For colorwork, take your time to change the colors neatly. As for maintenance, once you've finished your knitted piece, follow the general care instructions for the type of yarn you used. For example, if it's a wool - based yarn, it's best to hand - wash it in cool water and lay it flat to dry. Always keep your knitting needles and other tools clean to avoid any dirt getting onto your work.
