Urban Knit
Leeni Hoimela
Urban Knit is a modern Nordic knitwear collection from Helsinki, Finland that features timeless and stylish designs for sweaters, socks, and accessories. The patterns use contemporary techniques such as seamless top-down sweaters and toe-up socks, and are finished with high quality details. With a focus on everyday essentials and a touch of modern street fashion, Urban Knit shows how simple stitches can be elevated with a twist or unique accessories. In addition to being sustainable, making your own clothes is a slow and enjoyable form of fashion.
You can find Leeni Hoimela's knitting patterns in international magazines such as Laine and Making Stories, as well as in Finnish publications Suuri Käsityö and Taito. Along with her work as a lifestyle journalist and photographer, Hoimela brings a stunning aesthetic to the pages of Urban Knit, capturing the beauty of Helsinki and merging it with the world of knitwear.
