Discover your inner sock artist! Novita sock masters Minna Metsänen and Sisko Sälpäkivi have joined forces to create a gorgeous new design that’s inspired by the Kirpilä Art Collection in Helsinki.

The pattern will be released in sections as part of knit-along event. Knitted with Novita 7 Veljestä yarn, using cable, lace and textural techniques, they are an enjoyable challenge for all knitters whether new or experienced. The designers have created four distinctive colorways for you to choose from, but with a wide variety of shades available, the sky is the limit for you to come up with your own artistic interpretations. Join us as we turn stitches into art!
