Knitted Kalevala

Knitted Kalevala includes 18 knitting patterns inspired by Kalevala.  All of the designs are knitted in one piece.  The colorwork only uses two colors at the same time, making the patterns  accessible to all levels of knitters.

Considered a national epic in Finland, Kalevala contains old poems full of Baltic-Finnish mythology, ancient symbols, mythical creatures and nature.  These, as well as other Finnish, Karelian, Scandinavian and Baltic influences can be seen in the decorative colorwork patterns of the designs.  They are also a wonderful alternative to the popular Icelandic sweaters.

All of the designs are knit in one piece.  The patterns use a variety of lighter and heavier yarns.
