Knit a glorious Moomin sock collection for the whole family with 29 unique, intricately designed Fair Isle sock patterns, complete with charts.

Inspired by Tove Jansson's Moomin books, each pattern is a loving homage to Jansson's beloved characters, brought to life by the artistry of top Finnish knitwear designers.

You're invited on an enchanting knitting adventure deep into the heart of Moominvalley, which will capture your heart and spark your creativity. All of the characters you love are beautifully represented in these designs. You'll find practical guidance on finding the perfect fit for every member of your family, and detailed instructions on checking your tension ensure that you create the perfect knits every time.

Each of the delightful patterns tells its own Moomin tale:

  • The Hemulen Collecting Flowers pattern whisks you away on a floral adventure.
  • The 'Dancing in the Rain' socks transport you to a playful and carefree moment in Moominvalley.
  • Cozy up with the 'Happy Sniff' socks that capture Sniff's contentment and joy.
  • The Moominhouse design invites you into the cozy embrace of the Moomin household itself: agreeable Moomintroll, pensive Moominpappa, calm and caring Moominmamma, timid Sniff, and fearless Little My.
  • When it's time to unwind, let the 'Zzzz... time for a snooze' pattern lull you into a state of tranquillity.

Whether you're curled up with a well-loved copy of Finn Family Moomintroll, or exploring the great wide world, these socks will keep you and your family cozy and warm.

More about the Moomins:

The Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and comic strips by Swedish-speaking Finn Tove Jansson (1914-2001), a painter, illustrator, and writer. The Moomins are a family of white and roundish fantastical characters, with large snouts. After the first Moomin story was published in 1945, Tove Jansson went on to write another eight books, four picture books, and numerous comic strip stories about the Moomins. The Moomins have inspired numerous television series, films, and theme parks. There is a podcast devoted to Moomins hosted by Lily Collins and Jennifer Saunders - the Moomin Phenomenon podcast, which launched in March 2023.

Moomins are a beloved heritage brand; the first book of eight was published (in Swedish) in 1945 and since then, they have sold millions of copies worldwide, in over 40 languages.
