Blossom Vest with Jessica Tsung

This button-up vest by Jessica Tsung, also known as Jess’ Root Knots, is inspired by the vibrant beauty of spring flowers. It captures the surprise of discovering clusters of tiny white flowers during a stroll, framed by the bold colors of a sunny day. The straps are adorned with delicate granny squares with a central flower in vibrant hues. The body features a geometric lace stitch in a light neutral shade, creating a flowing, airy fabric perfect for warmer days.

The pattern is published in Let’s Crochet! – the unique issue of Laine Magazine devoted entirely to contemporary crochet design.

Isabell Kraemer and Fior de Lino

mYak’s newest yarn, Fior di Lino, marries texture with tradition by blending the rustic elegance of Italian linen, the luxurious softness of baby yak and the essence of Tibetan wool. It is a fiber that is born from nature and offers a unique drape, soft sheen and tactile beauty that invites creativity.

In 2025, this story found a kindred spirit in designer Isabell Kraemer. Thus, a collaboration was born to create a distinctive palette and a series of designs that reflect Isabell’s timeless aesthetic and the essence of Fior di Lino. Natural, effortless and deeply rooted in beauty.

Fiorellino is the first design Isabell created with one of the colors she developed herself.

Pink Lotus Cardigan by Zanete Knits
