Laine Magazine Issue 26 – Crossing Paths

The autumn issue of Laine Magazine takes you to the bohemian Kallio district of Helsinki, Finland. Take a stroll through the streets of this unique, creative neighbourhood, stop by a local café, and pick up flowers from the market.

This 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!
