We are delighted to present the new spring issue of Laine Magazine @laine_magazine, entitled “Open Water“.
This issue takes you on a boat trip to the sunny Baltic Sea: to sun-warmed cliffs, rocky beaches and balmy pine forests. The photos have a lovely retro touch, adding to the easygoing vibe. This abundant issue features 15 knits from international designers. You will find T-shirts and tops worked in summery yarns, as well as sweaters and cardigans that double as outerwear in the warmer months.
The designs in this issue are by Eun Mi Ahn, Fiona Alice, Autumn Buggs, Nicola Furey, Maria Gomes, Olivia Glennon, Anna Hechtman, Meiju Kallio, Pauliina Leisti, Lisa Meissner, Klara Nilsson, Sara Ottosson, Sanni Pauliina, Marie Régnier and Cata Rubke.

Pattern: « Vacilando » by Eun Mi Ahn, published in Laine Magazine 28, in 9 sizes (in English)
This comfortable cardigan is knitted from the bottom up in three panels, allowing the soft texture of Robinson‘s recycled cotton and Arles merino blend to highlight the visual interest of the pattern. Its simple construction makes this garment casual and easy to wear, while its charming picot edge adds a refined finishing touch.
