Stripes by Veera Välimäki

We are flattered to have Nurtured Fine featured twice on Veera Välimäki new book ‘Stripes’ published by Laine Magazine.

For years, Veera Välimäki has been fascinated by playing with colours and textures – and striping with them! In Stripes, she encourages you to start your own journey into the world of stripes.

This collection features 20 knitting patterns, including sweaters, cardigans and shawls as well as a relaxed dress, a beanie and your new favourite pair of socks.

Both the book and its knits are an ode to contemporary knitwear, exuding a sense of quiet, timeless confidence.

Veera used Nurtured Fine to design the Kaarna shawl and the Elin sweater.

Kaarna is a fascinating shawl that plays with the idea of reversed or mirrored stripes. The sequence is simple, but the outcome is very graphic and striking. 

Elin is the ultimate go-to sweater – especially in summer and spring. With short sleeves and plenty of positive ease, it is perfect for warmer days too. This stunning knit is worked from the top down in one piece.

This new collection is just about as dreamy as it can get! Congratulations Veera 💕
