Description

Laine 29, Damson, includes 15 beautiful knits well-suited for warmer seasons. The patterns are worked in a variety of techniques, from intricate cables and modern openwork to cosy brioche and meditative stockinette stitch. The photos capture the spirit of lazy, lingering summer days in the garden. The photoshoot drew inspiration from the movie The Hours, particularly the effortless style of Clarissa Vaughan, portrayed by Meryl Streep, as well the beauty of the English countryside, which serves as the backdrop for one of the film’s storylines.

It includes:

15 knitting patterns: 4 sweaters, 1 cardigan, 5 t-shirts/tops, 1 dress, 1 pair of shorts, 2 shawls, 1 pair of socks.
An interview with Olga Fahim, the creator behind Gotham Knits (@gotham.knits), who has become a pioneer of comical knitting content online.

It has a relaxed, boxy fit with dropped shoulders, giving it a casual yet elegant silhouette.
