Laine Magazine is celebrating its 10th anniversary! 🎉

I can’t believe it`s been so long ago that the Nordic Arrows Shawl was published in the very first issue of Laine. What an incredible honor to be part of this beautiful publication’s history.

Happy birthday, Laine! 🩷

Throwback to June 2023 and the Porto Shawlette.

This fun mid-sized triangle shawl is knit in two colors, with a mix of techniques and textures.

Two-color Brioche creates textured stripes, Pearl Brioche highlights the variegated colorway, horizontal Garter stripes add detail, and a zigzag Brioche border makes this a fun shawl to knit and wear.

The stripes Perennial Brioche Vest is the original prototype I knit with deep stash yarn that lost its tag years ago.
But I fell in love with the combination of neon pink Fingering-weight Merino and fluffy peach Suri-Silk, and just had to give it a Go. I believe this qualifies as Dopamine Dressing, they’re definitely my happy colors.

(It’s a big no-no to design something with discontinued/rare/mystery yarn, but we all have something like that in our stash that we dream of finding the right project for, don’t we?)

I changed colors every 4 rows until I ran out of the fluffy peach, then kept going with pink yarn only. I love the chevron pattern the stripes create at the shoulder.

This prototype also doesn’t have the double-knit hem, simply because I hadn’t thought of it at that point and would not have had enough yarn for it anyway.

The i-cord ties are such a cute detail, but only go for them if you’re brave or if you plan to wear the vest over something. 😅

The knitting pattern for the Perennial Brioche Vest is available on Ravelry & Payhip.

This color-blocked version of the Perennial Brioche Vest is knit in Sport-weight yarn, resulting in a denser fabric with beautiful stitch definition.

Worn with just 1 inch/2.5 cm of positive ease, this vest is more fitted than I usually wear my clothes, but the stretchy nature of Brioche ribbing makes it incredibly comfortable. I ended up making it ever so slightly shorter so I can wear it more comfortably as a layering piece over a dress as well.

Vertical buttonholes are among my favorite knitting techniques, especially in combination with the double-knit edge. The edges are knit simultaneously with the body, not attached afterward.

This sample is knit with one of my all-time favorite yarns, Ulysse by @dererumnatura, a Sport-weight Merino with a lovely grip and soft woolly feel, in the colorways Forêt (dark green) and Eucalyptus (gray-green).
The gray-green is a lovely tonal match to the stunning dark green, with just the right amount of contrast to let both colors shine.

A lightweight yarn, loose fit, and summery color make the Perennial Brioche Vest a perfect summer top.

I’m wearing this purple version with about 15 cm/6” of positive ease, which makes the vest breezy even on hot days.

The gorgeous yarn has a beautiful bounce, and a wonderful blend for a summer garment. Mohair Blend 2 by @robledalmohair is a Fingering-weight blend of mohair, cotton, Chubut wool, and silk. It has a lovely grip and stitch definition. The color is a lucky dip, but close to the colorway Jacaranda.

What’s your favorite summer yarn?

You can find the Perennial Brioche Vest knitting pattern in Ravelry & Payhip.
