A course by Sari Nordlund
Sari Nordlund is a knitwear designer based in Helsinki. After learning the basics as a child, she took up knitting again while in college and was quickly inspired to create her own patterns to bridge the gap between old-fashioned styles and more modern trends. She started out posting her designs on Instagram and Ravelry, later gaining visibility through knitting magazines. This paved the way for a job as an in-house designer at a Finnish yarn company, after which she decided to work solely on her own brand.
Inspired by Scandinavian minimalism and Nordic nature, Sari aims to create timeless classics with textured stitches that add a contemporary flair. Her work has been featured in renowned knitting magazines such as Laine magazine, Pom Pom Quarterly, and Amirisu. She has also collaborated with leading yarn companies such as Woolfolk and Brooklyn Tweed.
