Ahoy, knitters! Grab your needles and pack your project bags, because Laine 28 is taking us on a sun-drenched boat trip! Welcome to Open Water, Laine's beautiful Spring 2026 issue. This season, we’re escaping to the sunny Baltic Sea—think sun-warmed cliffs, rocky beaches, and balmy pine forests. Photographed on a beautiful vintage boat off the islands of Karhusaari and Kivisaari outside Helsinki, this issue is dripping with easygoing, retro charm.
Packed with 15 stunning knitwear patterns and fascinating articles from the world of fibre, it has everything you need to transition your handmade wardrobe into the warmer months.
Whether you need a breezy tee for a sunny afternoon or a cozy layer for a cool coastal evening, this abundant issue has you covered:
-
👕 The Perfect Spring Tees: Catch a vibe with Pauliina Leisti’s Artist (a relaxed, oversized tee with a rhythmic stitch), Meiju Kallio’s Honeymist (featuring gorgeous shoulder cables), or Klara Nilsson’s Cloud Tee (boasting simple, smile-inducing, cartoonish motifs!).
-
🧥 Cozy Coastal Layers: Keep the evening chill at bay with Fiona Alice's Pinehurst cardigan (worked with two yarns held together for extra squish!) or Olivia Glennon’s gorgeous Seafoam Cables sweater.
-
🦋 Joyful Accessories: Wrap up in Lisa Meissner’s light and lovely Flickflauder shawl (fun fact: that means “butterfly” in Swiss German!).
