Finnish Knitting Championships Sept 20th 2025
Powered by Myssy & Fiskars
The third official Finnish Knitting Championships will be held in Pöytyä on Sat 20th September 2025. The event has sold out two years in a row and established itself as a forum for serious knitters to meet. Early Bird price: 44€ until June 30th, after which the fee is 54€.
Sprint and Elite Series
In the Sprint category thick needles, bulky yarn, and an easy pattern will take about an hour to finnish for the fastest one.
In the Elite Class both needles and yarn are thinner, and the best knitters will complete the task in about three hours. The details of the pattern will be revealed on the competition day.
The rules are clear and the prizes generous – the winners will receive a grand prize worth €250. A maximum of 200 participants can join. Measurements, density, evenness and finalization of the knit work are evaluated. Unlike previous years, the Sprint category now also requires the row count to match, not just the stitch count.
SCHEDULE AND PARTICIPATION
The competition will be held on Saturday 20th September from 12:00 to 17:00, and registration will begin at 10:30. The knitting pattern may be opened 15 minutes before the start. The venue is Kisariihi (Yläneentie 66, Riihikoski).
