A-lehdet Beloved Patterns magazine, 1/24

The Beloved Patterns knitting magazine transforms the nature-inspired motifs of the Finnish ceramics and interior design brand Pentik into knit and crochet designs. Within its pages, you’ll find 20 previously unreleased knitting patterns inspired by the classic and new designs of the beloved brand. Is your favorite Kardemumma (cardamom), Kaarna (bark), Pioni (peony) or perhaps Pastelli (pastel)?

This thick, 124-page magazine in English offers knitting instructions suitable for various skill levels, with patterns ranging from easy to moderately challenging. The recommended yarns are favorites among Finnish knitters, but can also be substituted with your local yarns. Alongside stranded colourwork socks and jumpers, you can knit clothing and accessories ranging from lace and cable-knit socks to a cardigan, top, vest and scarf. There are even a few patterns for home items like a tufted pillow and a crocheted basket and placemat. If you haven’t already succumbed to the knitting craze yourself, this magazine is an excellent gift idea for any enthusiastic craftsperson in your life!

The patterns have been designed by a group of Finland’s most popular knitwear designers, including Ronja Hakalehto, Heli Hottinen-Puukko, Anna Johanna, Veera Jussila, Annika Konttaniemi, Hannemari Lehtonen, Johanna Nuorela, Mia Sumell and Anna Tanskanen.
