My City, My Stitches: 15 Relaxed Knits by Jenny Ansah

Journey into the diverse, multicultural neighbourhoods of East Helsinki in My City, My Stitches. In this collection of 15 relaxed, urban knits, Jenny Ansah draws inspiration from the character of each area, weaving both place and personal connection into every design. The patterns range from small accessories to sweaters, vests and cardigans — offering everything from quick, satisfying projects to texture-rich garments designed for everyday wear. Whether you’re knitting at home or on the go, this collection invites you to cast on and start your own knitted journey, one stitch at a time.
