Publisher's Review
The Moomins and their various friends living in Moominvalley
-The fun of creating vivid characters and fairy tale scenes through knitting.


From the innocent Moomintroll, the kind Moominmamma, the bowler-hatted Moominpappa, the flower-loving Snorkmaiden, the collector Hemulen, the greedy Sniff, the pensive Too-Ticky, the gardening Mymble, the mischievous Stinky, the creepy Groke, and the swarming Hattifatteners… various characters from Moomin fairy tales are expressed on socks.


In this book, “Moomin Hand-knitted Socks,” Finland’s leading knit designers used Moomin x Nobita knitting yarn based on the Moomin fairy tale to express the adventures of the Moomin family and friends through hand-knitted socks.
Overall, it is composed of natural tones with high saturation, so no matter what color combination you use, it gives a vivid impression like a scene from a fairy tale or cartoon.
DK (Light Worsted) thread, which is used not only for accessories but also for knitting clothing, is mainly used to create a cozy feel.


A refreshing color scheme and
Details finished with stitching and embroidery techniques


This collection of hand-knitted sock patterns features original Moomin designs from six talented designers, showcasing different knitting styles, techniques, and details.
There are as many different styles and knitting methods for socks as there are different personalities among designers.
Some socks start from the ankle with elastic bands, while others start from the toes and go up. Some create three-dimensional patterns with lace or cable knitting, and some decorate characters and backgrounds in a cute way with colorful combinations.
The color scheme is mostly a delicate horizontal Fair Isle pattern, but in rare cases, a vertical intarsia technique is used.
The length of the socks, as well as the shape of the toes and heels, are all different, so it's fun to create a variety of shapes.
Embroidery techniques that add expressions to characters created with color schemes, or embroidering techniques that emphasize outlines and color scheme points, breathe life into characters with small details.


Not only do they offer a variety of size options for each pattern, but the introduction also includes tips for adjusting the sock size to fit your feet, including how to check the tension (gauge), so don't miss this practical guide.
