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.

It includes:

15 knitting patterns: 4 sweaters, 2 cardigans, 3 T-shirts, 2 tops, 1 vest, 2 shawls, 1 pair of socks.
An interview with the Finnish knitwear designer Ronja Hakalehto (@ronjahakalehto), who leads a busy family life in a small village close to the Arctic Circle, enjoying the wild nature and solitude.
A new Favourites section with inspiring little stories, tips, products, reviews and ideas! We visit the Stephen & Penelope yarn shop in Amsterdam and get style inspiration from Aleksandra Solowianiuk (@vert.and.rose).
The Five Ways article, where four experts share their favourite tools and notions for a knitter.

Note on the pattern: Vacilando captures the Spanish spirit of wandering and carefree exploration with its geometric basketweave pattern, where shifting directions evoke the many paths of a meandering journey. This comfortable vest is worked bottom-up in three panels, letting the soft texture of a plant-based yarn blend highlight the pattern’s visual interest. Straightforward construction keeps the piece relaxed and wearable, while a charming picot edging adds a sweet finishing touch. Vacilando is a versatile layer that works just as well over a summer dress or with your favourite jeans.
