Laine 22, Aalto, presents cosy yet stylish knits for the season! This issue also celebrates architecture with photos from the Paimio Sanatorium, designed by the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. The building’s unique colours and shapes provided the perfect backdrop for our autumn knits, which feature interesting styles and techniques, from cables and lace to textured patterns.

Issue 22, Autumn 2024, includes:

• 11 knitting patterns (both charts and written instructions provided): 6 sweaters, 2 cardigans and 3 shawls.
• An interview with the Finnish knitwear designer Jenna Kostet, who has turned the poems of the famous epic, Kalevala, into tradition-inspired knitwear patterns and charmed both Finnish and international knitters.
