Knitted Poetry – Storytelling Through Knitting – Johanna Ekström-Partanen (Auguste Knit)
Knitted Poetry – Storytelling Through Knitting is a collection of 21 timeless knitting patterns by Auguste Knit designer Johanna Ekström-Partanen. Each knit tells a story shaped by landscapes, memories, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.
Inspired by the soft coastal light of the Finnish archipelago, the faded rose tones of Old Porvoo, and the peaceful stillness of summer meadows, the Knitted Poetry collection brings together thoughtful knitwear designs for a timeless, handmade wardrobe. Each pattern reflects the distinctive aesthetic of Auguste Knit, combining refined details, elegant silhouettes, and luxurious natural fibres.
Photographed in Porvoo, Finland, Knitted Poetry by Auguste Knit celebrates the connections between generations, the beauty of meaningful places, and the memories that shape our sense of belonging.
More than a collection of knitting patterns, Knitted Poetry is an invitation to slow down, knit with intention, and enjoy the creative process of making something by hand. The book celebrates the meditative rhythm of knitting and the stories that can be held within every stitch.
