Inspired by the multicultural neighbourhoods of East Helsinki, My City My Stitches is a beautiful collection of knitting patterns by Jenny Ansah. Every single one of her knit designs is a reflection of where she lives and her personal connection to it, giving each handknit garment even more character.
Jenny’s design style is all about comfortable and relaxed handknit garments that plays with different textures and stitch patterns paired with classic stockinette stitch for knits that are very easy to wear. There’s plenty here for knitters who love stockinette stitch, but want a few additional details to make their handknits look and feel a little bit more special.
This collection of 15 knitting patterns includes:
- 4 sweaters
- 3 vests
- 2 cardigans
- 2 hats
- 2 scarves
- 1 pair of socks
- 1 scrunchie
Garments are graded up to a 59″ / 150 cm chest, making this a wonderfully inclusive knitting book for bodies of all sizes.
My City My Stitches is a great mix of satisfying quick knitting projects and more involved cardigan and sweater projects. Whether you’re after an easy knitting project or something to keep your brain involved, this knitting book will have something you feel excited to cast on.
