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, Yuka Takahashi and Julia Wilkens.
