Description

Autumn is approaching, and with it comes our Laine autumn issue!

Laine 30, Layers, features a beautiful collection of knits to wrap yourself in as the weather starts to cool. The collection includes lovely textures, delicate lace, plump cables, as well as stunning colourwork. The photos were taken in a rustic, historical mill setting, where layers of past decades were beautifully present — evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing. The crisp sunlight added a beautiful finishing touch to the photos.

Note on the pattern:

Huurre is a modern cable vest designed for layering. The fabric combines plump cables with panels of slipped-stitch rib for depth and texture. A mock turtleneck, button closures at the sides and a slightly longer back panel create a contemporary silhouette with practical details. Huurre (“frost” in Finnish) is an easy layering piece, something warm and comforting to wrap up in when the temperature drops. The cables stand out like soft snowbanks, broken up by crisp rib details.

The vest is worked flat from the top down. It begins with the back, which is finished completely before picking up stitches for the neckline. The neckline is shaped one side at a time and continued to the fronts separately. The fronts are then joined to work the rest of the front in one piece. The front hem ribbing is 1” / 2.5 cm shorter than the back hem ribbing, creating a high-low effect. The i-cord armhole edgings are worked simultaneously with the main body, minimising finishing work, with buttonholes are worked at both sides of the front piece. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckline, and the neck ribbing is worked in the round, in 1 x 1 Rib.
