Flowers, cats, and art history! We've gathered three patterns from our selection that will add variety to your knitting needles.
Always Afloat
The pattern for the ankle-length Lumme socks is designed by Minttu Wikberg. Adapted from Birger Kaipiainen's art ceramics, the knitting pattern is extremely faithful to its source material, as the socks, reminiscent of nocturnal waters, align with the life's work of Kaipiainen, known as a romantic and symbolist. Water lilies blooming against a deep blue background convey, for example, that it is possible to bloom even in turbulent waters.
The pattern for Lumme socks has been published in Rakkaat kuviot & Birger Kaipiainen magazine, where the inspiration came from Birger Kaipiainen's patterns and art ceramics.
The socks are knitted from cuff to toe using stranded knitting.

Panther's Paw Scratches
The Panther socks, designed by Mia Sumell, are inspired by Ritva Kronlund's classic wallpaper. The 1970s wallpaper has a rock and unapologetic attitude, suitable for those who forge their own path, and the socks share the same spirit. This pattern is classified as difficult, but hey – nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Mia Sumell's Panther socks have been published in Rakkaat kuviot & Pihlgren ja Ritola magazine, where the inspiration came from Pihlgren and Ritola's iconic wallpaper patterns.
The wild spots of the panther follow the wearer of the wool socks with every step. The ribbing alternates between cables and twisted rib stitch.

Golden Youth
Romance can be found not only in the Lumme socks but also in Mia Sumell's Wiener Jugend socks. The sock pattern, based on wallpaper from the Pihlgren and Ritola wallpaper factory, is a tribute to an era when, for example, the line between aesthetics and functionality in architecture was blurred. Jugend, meaning youth, has something idealistically rebellious about it, as it cries out: "look how beautiful the world can be!"
Mia Sumell's Wiener Jugend socks have been published in Rakkaat kuviot & Pihlgren ja Ritola magazine, where the inspiration was Pihlgren and Ritola's iconic wallpaper patterns.
The wool socks are adorned with Art Nouveau-inspired patterns. The heel flap of the socks, knitted from cuff to toe, is worked flat.
