What you need to know

Bring a touch of summer calm to your knitting with these Fair Isle Moomin socks by designer Sonja Nykänen.

A stretch of clear, luminous blue sky has lured Moomintroll outdoors, where he’s settled contentedly on a patch of soft grass, soaking up the calm of the day. Now you can bring that storybook scene to life with Sonja Nykänen's tutorial. The main patterns are knitted in Fair Isle, creating soft colourwork with a classic feel, while the finer details are added with embroidery for extra character and texture. Clever features include a reinforced heel for durability and a barn toe for a smooth, comfortable fit. This project has been extracted from Knitted Moomin Socks by Moomin and Linda Permanto, £15.99, available on searchpress.com
