Tromsø Hoodie
Sisu’s first pattern was this fluffy balaclava, created in collaboration with MinMote. It has been downloaded 150.000 times and continues to resurface every winter. The key detail: it’s free.

New patterns
The following year, 23 new sweater and accessories patterns were released in the Sisu Store. All rooted in Nordic, Sámi, and Finnish influences, with nature as the constant reference point.

Blueberry Sweater
Sisu’s flagship pattern launched in the store and quickly established itself as a fall essential across markets. That same year, Sisu joined Ravelry to make patterns more accessible to a world of knitters.
2024
Barnestrikk fra nord

A slower pace for Sisu
Work (NRK) forced Sisu to slow down. That distance created clarity. We saw the brand more objectively, identified what matters, and uncovered new directions. In hindsight, it was necessary.

Big news ahead
This year, two new apps for knitters are launching. Yarn kits, needles, and accessories are entering the store. The roadmap for 2027–2028 is already defined. Stay tuned and keep knitting.
