Knitted Kalevala III is the final volume of Jenna Kostet's beloved series inspired by Finland's national epic, the Kalevala. This beautiful hardcover collection brings together 18 knitting patterns alongside stories, atmospheric photography, and Jenna's reflections on the poetry and mythology behind these designs.
Inspired by the ancient poems of the Kalevala, the collection draws on Baltic-Finnic mythology, traditional symbols, mythical creatures, and the natural world. From sweaters and cardigans to cozy accessories, this collection offers a diverse array of designs showcasing various shapes and constructions. Poetry comes to life in colorwork, from detailed yokes to simpler projects that are approachable for all knitters, all worked using only two colors at a time. For knitters who love Nordic knitting, colorwork, folklore, and woolly storytelling, Knitted Kalevala III is a beautiful conclusion to Jenna's inspiring series.
