Laine

Introducing "Laine," a charming knitting pattern inspired by the mesmerizing beauty of ocean waves. In Finnish, "laine" translates to wave, making this design a perfect homage to sandy shores adorned with delicate seashells. This delightful DK weight garment features a stunning wavy cable pattern that captures the essence of beachside serenity. Ideal for knitters seeking a project that blends elegance with comfort, this piece is worked in the round and showcases a finished tassel fringe that adds a playful touch.

GAUGE is essential for achieving the perfect fit: 20 stitches and 28 rows = 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette stitch, using larger needles (US 6 / 4 mm) and wet blocking techniques to ensure your fabric drapes beautifully.

Each skein contains 100g of yarn with 246 yards / 225 meters. For this lovely design, you will need a specific quantity of skeins, depending on your size: 4 (4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6) (7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8) skeins or approximately 870 (950, 1040, 1130, 1210, 1300, 1370, 1450) (1520, 1590, 1660, 1740, 1830, 1910) yards / 790 (870, 950, 1030, 1110, 1190, 1260, 1320) (1390, 1450, 1520, 1600, 1675, 1750) meters of DK weight yarn.
