My City, My Stitches: 15 Relaxed Knits by Jenny Ansah

Journey into the diverse, multicultural neighbourhoods of East Helsinki with My City, My Stitches. In this beautifully curated collection of 15 relaxed, urban knits, Jenny Ansah draws inspiration from the character of each area, weaving a sense of place and personal connection into every design.

The patterns range from smaller accessories to sweaters, vests and cardigans — offering everything from quick, satisfying projects to texture-rich garments made for everyday wear. Expect comfortable silhouettes, thoughtful details and pieces you’ll reach for again and again.

Jenny’s pared-down, nature-inspired aesthetic shines through, with relaxed shapes, tactile textures and classic stocking stitch sitting comfortably side by side. These are knits designed to fit seamlessly into real wardrobes — modern, wearable and quietly distinctive.

Whether you’re casting on at home or knitting on the go, My City, My Stitches invites you to slow down and enjoy the journey, one stitch at a time.
