Description

Join Sari Nordlund in this breathtaking collection of 23 summer knit patterns, including lightweight tops, flowing dresses, and delicate scarves. With her signature blend of effortless elegance and thoughtful design, Sari has created a collection that celebrates the beauty and ease of summer.

The designs, photographed in the stunning light of Rome, capture the essence of warm, sunlit days and balmy evenings. Each design is inspired by an ancient Roman goddess, capturing the timeless beauty of its namesake. Sari’s clear instructions and attention to detail make these patterns accessible to knitters of all levels.

Sari Nordlund is one of Finland’s most popular knitwear designers, whose creations have graced knitting magazines around the world. She has also collaborated as a designer for leading yarn manufacturers. Sari has a unique ability to turn the everyday beauty of her surroundings – Finnish nature, Helsinki’s Art Nouveau architecture, art and popular culture – into an abundant source of knitting inspiration.

Sari has created five designs for this collection in our yarns:

- the "Juturna" camisole in Antigone "lune" (pictures 2 & 3)

- the "Pax" top in Candide "muscari" (picture 4)

- the "Venilia" dress in Pénélope "orgeat" (pictures 5 & 6)
