Sydämeni laulu (Song of My Heart) socks were originally designed for a sock design contest that was launched to celebrate the 100 years of independency in Finland in 2017. The stranded patterns feature Finnish nature and four seasons.

The design is the second sequel to my trilogy of traditional sock patterns, Echoes from Karelia being the first. However, Sydämeni laulu is rather a pattern that brings the traditional Finnish sock design to the 21th century than a strictly traditional design as such.

The first Finnish version of the pattern was published in the March 2017 issue of the Finnish handicraft magazine Suuri Käsityölehti. The pattern published in the magazine was written by Pirkanmaan Kotityö without any co-operation with the designer. Thus the instructions in the magazine do not represent fully the original design.
