Our autumn issue, Laine 26, Crossing Paths, takes you to the bohemian Kallio district of Helsinki, Finland. We stroll the streets of this unique, creative neighbourhood, stop by at a local café and pick up flowers from the marketplace. The issue includes twelve beautiful knits to complete your autumn outfits: they feature luscious cables, fascinating textures and innovative stripe patterns — not to mention some meditative stockinette stitch and simple colourwork. This issue truly offers something for everyone!
Designers featured in this issue: Anu Ahoniemi, Alma Bali, Melanie Berg, Alice Caetano, Ronja Hakalehto, Soumine Kim, Sanni Pauliina, Anne-Michelle Phelan, Simone Ryan, Irina Shaar, Yucca/Yuka Takahashi and Julia Wilkens.
Looking for a sumptuous cable knit to wrap yourself in? This issue has two amazing options: Soumine Kim’s Bada is a richly cabled, drop-shoulder sweater with an elegant silhouette, while Simone Ryan’s Éimi is a take on a classic Aran cardigan, featuring a variety of cables. Perfectly cosy yet stylish!
Playing with stripes is endlessly fun and fascinating. In Julia Wilkens’ Waveform shawl, wave-like chevron stripes create a rhythmic up-and-down motion, widening gradually at the end. The unique feature of Alice Caetano’s Sixty-Five design is that from far away, it looks like a sweater with thick horizontal stripes — but closer up, you see that the texture has vertical stripes in it, too!
