Cozy Colours - Nordic Knits from Copenhagen

Cozy Colors – Nordic Knits from Copenhagen

By Anna Tanskanen

What is it about Copenhagen that feels so effortlessly beautiful?

Perhaps it's the way colour appears in unexpected places. The warm glow of a café window on a winter afternoon. Rows of pastel townhouses reflected in a canal. A bicycle leaning against a weathered wall. In Cozy Colors – Nordic Knits from Copenhagen, knitwear designer Anna Tanskanen captures these moments and translates them into a collection of timeless, wearable knits.

Inspired by Nordic aesthetics and everyday life in Copenhagen, this beautifully photographed book features 16 knitting patterns that celebrate colour, texture, and thoughtful design. From simple sweaters and cosy socks to delicate lace and intricate cables, each project invites you to slow down, savour the process of making, and create garments that will be loved for years to come.

Throughout the collection, colour takes centre stage — creating harmony, adding depth, and bringing a gentle sense of joy to every piece. The designs blend timeless silhouettes with modern Scandinavian style, resulting in knits that feel both contemporary and enduring.
