Moominous woollen socks

The bookazines include wonderful Moominous knitting and crocheting patterns – what would you knit first: Hattifattener socks, a Snufkin beanie or a Moomintroll sweater?
There’s also an inspiring book filled with Moomin-themed woollen sock patterns by Novita and Otava. The book is currently available in Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian, but let’s hope it will also be translated into other languages soon! Everyone should have a pair of Moominous woollen socks, right?
