Toini-Inkeri Kaukonen
"Kinnasompelun levinneisyys ja työtavat Suomessa", Suomen Museo 1960, p. 44 - 71. Maps, photos of old nalbinding needles and mittens. Diagrams for Finnish Stitch 2+2, Russian Stitch 2+2+2, and Finnish Turning Stitch 2+2+tr (in the Parikkala style), Kaukola Kekomäki Stitch, and also a diagram for Mordovian leg warmers (though, I think the written text about the Mordovian Stitch is confusing and ambiguous).
16 different stitches are mentioned: Finnish Stitch (FS) 1+1 (Oslo Stitch), FS 1+2 (Mammen Stitch), Kaukola Kekomäki Stitch, FS 2+2, FS 2+3, FS 3+3, Russian Stitch (RS) 2+2+2, Russian Stitch "with five loops" (not specified, but could be e.g. 2+2+1 or 1+2+2), RS 3+2+2, RS 3+3+3, RS 2+2+3 (Salmi Stitch), RS 1+1+1 (Dalby Stitch) Finnish Turning Stitch (FTS) 2+2+tr, FTS 2+2tr à la Parikkala style. In addition, stitches "full Russian" and "half Russian", and "full Carelian" and "half Carelian" are mentioned, but T-I Kaukonen does not specify them. Those same terms can be found in old nalbinding samples in the Museum archives.

Tyyni Vahter"Tuukkalan neulakinnas". Suomen Muinaismuistoyhdistyksen aikakauskirja 1934, p. 236 - 243 (as an inter library loan). Diagram of the Salmi Stitch (p. 238). Note, the Tuukkala man's mitten mentioned in the article is not made with Salmi Stitch 2+2+3, but with Finnish Stitch 2+2 (ref. T-I Kaukonen 1960; K Vajanto 2003).

Tellervo Soisalon-Soinenen, "Aineistoa neulakintaiden valmistuksesta Polvijärvellä, Sakkolassa, Äyräpäässä ja Kuolemanjärvellä 1950-luvulla", 17 pages, photos, handwritten notes. The materials were collected in 1953-1957 (Museoviraston kansatieteellinen käsikirjoitusarkisto). From Polvijärvi: Instructions on Russian Stitch 2+2+2 F2 (yarn often spliced by knotting). From Sakkola: Instructions on Sakkola Stitch 2+2+1 F2 (yarn spliced by knotting). From Äyräpää: Instructions on Finnish Stitch 2+2 F2, and Finnish Stitch 2+3 F2 (yarn spliced by knotting, or by twisting). From Kuolemanjärvi: Russian Stitch 2+2+2 F2 (yarn spliced by knotting).
It was interesting to note in these materials that making knots to join pieces of yarn was a common practise in those areas!
