Laine is an international knit and lifestyle magazine. Issue 21, Harvest Sun, is filled with beautiful and practical summer knits featuring interesting stitch patterns, engaging techniques and lovely details.

This issue’s knits feature some lovely textured stitch patterns. The delicate Brisaal Atardecer pullover by Griselda Zárate is worked in an all-over star lace stitch pattern, and the stitch pattern in Soraya García’s Fossora top is called English Rose Tweed. It creates a fabric that resembles crochet stitches.

The serene photos depict a balmy summer day in the countryside, amidst blooming gardens and golden, sun-drenched fields.
