LAINE 20 | Highlights + Yarn Guide
Laine 20, Waterways, invites you to spend a day by the sea — you can almost smell the salty air and feel the soft breeze in your hair!
This issue includes ten beautiful and unique knits perfect for the season: the kind that will keep you warm on the first spring days when you can’t get enough of the outdoors but still need that extra layer to keep you warm.
In the articles, we meet Finnish knitwear designer Jenny Ansah who wants to bring a stronger sense of community to the world of handicrafts. Explore the results of Laine’s first-ever Knitting Survey, and a stash of regular articles to guide you through the season.
Laine 20 includes 10 knitting patterns (both charts and written instructions provided) for 5 sweaters, 1 cardigan, 1 tee, 2 shawls and 1 pair of socks.
Laine 20 is available HERE. Find our pattern highlights and yarn guide below.
