Moomin & Linda Permanto
Knit a glorious Moomin sock collection for the whole family with 29 unique, intricately-designed Fair Isle sock patterns, charts included.

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 the reader away on a floral adventure;
- The ‘Dancing in the Rain' socks transports them to a playful and carefree moment in Moominvalley;
- ‘Happy Sniff’ socks capture Sniff's contentment and joy;
- ‘The Moomin House’ design invites knitters into the cozy embrace of the Moomin household itself: agreeable Moomintroll, pensive Moominpappa, calm, 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.
