Koivikkotie - Birch Forest Street was the street where my paternal grandparents lived in Jyväskylä, Finland. The street and their yard was lined with beautiful, big, old birches. Light and shadows played in the birch leaves and my grandfather hung a swing to one of the biggest birches. And my grandmom sang an Carelian swing song…

This pattern is to memorize those sunny, warm summers of the childhood.

The pattern is for a medium size leg and for about 39 European shoe size, but you can easily fit it to your foot.

One skein of both colors is enough, 2x100 g. These special dyed yarns you can order from riikkapiikka.fi.
