Alexandra Atepaeva's Crisp Morning vest is inspired by the waves of frozen sand dunes. She liked the idea of ​​replicating the texture on a layering piece that could be worn on nature walks. Crisp Morning is a fun, minimalist garment with a unique texture, made from a combination of linen and garter stitch. The three-dimensional textured ribs streak the garment here and there, and the tight knit makes the vest perfect for staying warm on a windy day while looking chic. Crisp Morning is knitted flat top down in pieces.

The Kettle Cove vest combines the idea of ​​a sophisticated pinstripe with something a little more rustic, making it the perfect addition to your everyday wear. The pattern uses several techniques to create interesting texture: Once the vest is complete, rows of "sham stitch" are embroidered onto the base to create texture and visual interest. The vest has deep armholes and a scoop neck. It is knitted from bottom to top in the round up to the armholes. Then the front and back pieces are knitted flat up to the neckline.

Nightfall is an intricate top-down yoke sweater with some striking geometric shapes in the color pattern - a perfect combination of modern and traditional. The sweater is knitted from a fingering weight wool, making it light but warm. Maxim Cyr comes from a graphic design background and loves the “halftone” printing technique, which uses a series of dots. His background also influenced this color pattern: for example, the large Vs in the middle of the sweater.

Lately, Ronja Hakalehto has been heavily inspired by color work, which, done in earth tones, is the main feature of her Puhuri hat (“puhuri” is Finnish for “gust”). Puhuri is knitted bottom up starting with a 2 x 2 ribbed brim. Once this is done, edit the color body using the table. The thick, tri-fold brim is sure to keep your ears warm in icy weather. The hat is knitted from wool and silk/mohair held together, making it a great project for leftover yarn!

Helga Isager came up with the idea for this skirt during her visit to Japan last winter. Garments with ribbed details seemed to be everywhere, and she found it interesting that you could emphasize the shape in such an easy way. The offset rib reminds her of Japanese Zen gardens such as the famous Ryōan-ji Temple Garden in Kyoto. The Ryoanji skirt is knitted top down so the length can be easily adjusted. The skirt is knitted from a sock yarn containing nylon: this prevents it from becoming out of shape when worn. The slit can be worn on the back or on the side.

Pauliina Leisti wanted to design a very light yet roomy sweater, so she chose double silk/mohair to create this light yet fluffy knit. Softis is a loose, stockinette knit sweater with raglan sleeves and a folded, loose turtleneck collar. The thin stripes with slightly different heights create an interesting surface. The raglan seams have purl stitch details that ensure the stripes stay in place. Softis is worked from top to bottom. The neckline is flat, the rest of the sweater is knitted seamlessly in the round.
