Stripes: 20 Contemporary Knitwear Projects

Stripes is a beautiful collection of 20 striped knitwear projects from leading designer Veera Välimäki and knitting experts Laine, exploring the world's favorite pattern.

For years, Veera Välimäki has been fascinated by playing with colors and textures – and striping with them. In Stripes, she encourages you to discover the endless possibilities, incredible techniques and stunning effects of striped knitwear, with patterns including sweaters, cardigans and shawls, as well as a relaxed dress, a beanie and your new favorite pair of socks.

Featuring beautiful photography, this book – and its knits – are an ode to contemporary design, exuding a sense of quiet, timeless confidence. Stripes is another Laine title that is destined to become a classic for knitters everywhere. Knitting is more than just knit, knit, purl. It is a feeling.

Veera Välimäki is one of the world's leading knitwear designers. Her designs are known for their simple, clean lines with modern details. Veera lives and works in a small village in Southern Finland surrounded by forests, fields and lakes. Stripes is her third book.
