Knits for a Saimaa ringed seal fan
Erik Bruun's posters became known to Finns no later than the 1950s, when his colorful Jaffa advertisements appeared on the streets of Helsinki. Bruun, known as the father of the Saimaa ringed seal poster, created playful yet touching posters that offer perfect source material for knitting patterns that warm the mind and body.

Timelessly stylish
Rakkaat kuviot & Vuokko is a celebration of vibrant colors and elegant patterns. The patterns of Vuokko, founded by Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi, exhibit both academic stylistic purity and exuberant playfulness – this magical combination is probably the secret to why Vuokko's designs look strikingly beautiful year after year.

Beaded knits
Aarika's graphic yet playful design language works wonderfully in knits! The Rakkaat kuviot & Aarikka magazine includes patterns inspired by, for example, charming wooden beads. The magazine contains patterns from fair isle socks to bags.

A piece of the North
Pentik's nature-inspired style is rich and bold, which is why patterns like Peony, Valo, and Saaga have achieved favorite status. Rakkaat kuviot & Pentik is an ode to these classics and lovely new patterns, and in this magazine, in addition to knitting patterns, you'll also find crochet patterns!
Tip! You can download individual patterns from the Rakkaat kuviot & Pentik magazine here.
A journey into imagination
Birger Kaipiainen was both a designer and a ceramist, but also a storyteller – so it's no wonder that the knitting patterns created from the production of this master of symbolism exude the same romance and mysticism as their source works. Rakkaat kuviot & Birger Kaipiainen is an excellent purchase especially for those who love long and ornate wool socks.

Experienced patterns
Tapettitehdas Pihlgren ja Ritola, over a hundred years old, is to thank for Finland's most beloved wallpapers. Iconic patterns such as Cherry Tree, Roosters, and Flower Garden look equally charming wallpapered on a wall as they do in a knitting pattern – and that, if anything, is a sign of quality design. Rakkaat kuviot & Pihlgren ja Ritola includes 20 knitting patterns from top Finnish designers.
