Laine Magazine | Anniversary Issue Bookazine

The first issue of Laine Magazine was published in 2016, and this year marks Laine's 10th anniversary.

Laine Anniversary Issue is a special one-shot issue of Laine Magazine, celebrating the magazine's 10th anniversary. This impressive bookazine features 23 knitwear patterns from international designers who have contributed to Laine's journey over the last ten years. The bookazine is a celebration of Laine's beloved Nordic aesthetics as well as contemporary knitwear design. Some patterns are fresh takes on classic Laine designs, others incorporate elements from the designers' previous patterns for Laine, while the rest capture the spirit of Laine Magazine in their style.

The cover image is Reitti by Weichien Chan. For this anniversary issue Weichien Chan wanted to design something classic: a boxy colourwork jumper that uses simple shapes and motifs, easy repeats with no long floats. Reitti is knitted top-down with a seamless round yoke and designed with Finland's natural landscapes in mind - from the maze-like network of lakes to the evergreen trees and fells. The colours are inspired by Pantone's colour palette for Finland, and the pattern offers multiple ways to customise. Reitti means route in Finnish.

Designers featured in this issue: Fiona Alice, Alma Bali, Aleks Byrd, Rachel Brockman, Weichien Chan, Maxim Cyr, Dee Hardwicke, Jonna Helin, Susanna Kaartinen, Bernice Lim, Justyna Lorkowska, Sari Nordlund, Marie Régnier, Tiia Reho, Camille Romano, Lis Smith, Orlane Sucche, Lene Tøsti, Maaike van Geijn, Sylvia Watts-Cherry and Julia Wilkens.
