Finnish Knitting and Crochet Pattern Magazines

Finnish Pattern Magazines offer a treasure trove of patterns and designs. Finnish people knit more per capita than any other country in the world (they also drink the most coffee per capita), and the demand for patterns and designs is sufficient that there are probably a dozen different titles with knitting and crochet patterns currently being published.

Occasionally, I am able to source a few magazines and bring them stateside. Please note that these magazines are in Finnish. I am happy to help with translation, and I’ve also compiled a list of common terms.

Current Selection:

• Silmukoita & Sukkahetkiä: Hanne Piiraisen Parhaat Osa 1. 28 knitting patterns from @puikoillapeltolassa
• Novita 2/2024 Kesä: The summer issue of Finland’s biggest yarn manufacturer
• Rakkaat Kuviot 1/2024: 20 knitting patterns from nine designers inspired by interior decoration lifestyle brand Pentik
• Novita Virkkauslehti 2024: 21 crochet patterns from Finland’s biggest manufacturer

In full transparency, I obtained these at cover price, and while I’ve tried to keep the price as low as possible, I do have to add a small markup so I can continue doing more of this.
