Knitting patterns for your life, not your to-do list
You don’t need to prove anything with your knitting.
Knitting should feel like an exhale, not another item on your to-do list.
Not a race to finish. Not a performance. Just something that gives back to you.
Woolenberry patterns are here for that.
They’re clear, modern, and meet you exactly where you are. Designed to flow. To breathe. To leave room for your life, your pace, your season.
This is knitting that fits into your world, not the other way around.
Hi, I’m Janina Kallio.
I enjoy knitting almost as much as a good gin & tonic. (Hendrick’s with cucumber and a dash of black pepper, if you’re asking.)
I live by the Baltic Sea in Helsinki, Finland, where I design patterns for knitters who want simplicity, style, and space to enjoy the process.
Since 2012, thousands of knitters around the world have used my patterns to create beautiful things without the overwhelm.
And now it’s your turn.
Welcome to Woolenberry.
Let’s cast on something that takes care of you for a change.
