LAINE | 52 weeks of Chunky Knits 

LAINE | 52 weeks of Chunky Knits 

52 Weeks of Chunky Knits presents 52 trendy and relaxed designs featuring a variety of techniques, textures and constructions.

I absolutely loved the brief to create a design using chunky yarn, so of course I wanted to submit a design proposal for LAINE. They are publishing a beautiful, substantial knitting book filled with patterns featuring chunky yarn.

The result is a cable-knit vest – a versatile piece that can be worn throughout the year, whatever the season.

The book includes 25 patterns for sweaters, cardigans, slipovers and vests, as well as accessories and a few home decor items. The designs are contemporary, stylish, relaxed and quick to make — perfect for those not patient enough to make a whole sweater in fingering-weight yarn!

52 Weeks of Chunky Knits is the newest addition to Laine Publishing’s popular 52 Weeks book series. The book’s patterns are written by 46 talented designers from all over the world.

The patterns are created by the following designers: Andrea Aho, Eun Mi Ahn, Veranika Barel, Natalya Berezynska, Sylvie Bouchard, Marion Bulin, Cristina Cusano, Anna Daku, Jaime Dorfman (Jaime Creates), Arianna Frasca, Jonna Helin, Eliza Hinkes, Dami Hunter, Rastus Hsu, Sasha Hyre, Esti Juango, Claudia Joyal Laplante, Faye Kennington, Sini Kramer, Pauliina Kuunsola, Brenda Lam, Pauliina Leisti, Bernice Lim (Yamagara), Lotta H. Löthgren, Vicky M. (Vicky Knits), Sara Markkula, Aude Martin, Rebekka Mauser, Ayako Mizuno, Klara Nilsson (Klarybarry), Yukie Onodera, Sara Ottosson, Kare Peacock, Heta Puronen, Tiia Pyykkö, Marie Régnier, Gina Rockenwagner, Cata Rubke, Megumi Shinagawa, Orlane Sucche, Lili Tobias, Thea Vesterby, Kajsa Vuorela, Veera Välimäki, Vivian Wei and Julia Wilkens.

Alt for Damerne | New pattern
VesterbyCrea.No.50 Crossover A crossover top featuring a textured stitch pattern. That was the idea from the very beginning. Initially, I imagined a design that could be tied, but as the design evolved, I realised that buttons would work much better – allowing you to place them exactly where you prefer. I wanted to create a design for the Danish magazine Alt for Damerne, and I had a particular wish to make a summer knit using Isager's Alpaca 3, a yarn I had wanted to work with for a long time. So this design became my contribution to their knitting supplement, published in June 2025. The pattern features a repeating textured stitch pattern that runs throughout the entire piece. I have created individual charts for each size using Stitch Fiddle. This gives you the option to download and print the chart for your chosen size, or to follow the pattern directly in Stitch Fiddle, where you can also keep track of your progress as you knit. If you need any help along the way, you are always very welcome to contact me at info@vesterbycrea.dk.Happy knitting!/Thea Vesterby
