In Cultivate, Dee Hardwicke and Jonna Helin come together to celebrate the beauty of everyday simplicity through the art of knitting. Featuring 20 timeless patterns, this collection blends Dee’s botanical scarves — rich with nature-inspired motifs — and Jonna’s effortless, elegant garments designed to last.

In their first collaboration, Dee and Jonna invite you to cultivate inspiration from the world around you, creating knitwear that is both simple and profoundly beautiful.

Dee Hardwicke is a British artist, designer and knitter whose work is deeply inspired by Britain’s ever-changing landscapes and cottage gardens. Her sketchbooks serve as a visual diary of her life, capturing the enchanting details of nature. Dee’s creativity spans multiple mediums, from knitting to collaborations with esteemed partners like the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the National Trust, where her artistic vision is brought to life through beautiful flooring, tableware and stationery.

Jonna Helin is the creative soul behind Laine Publishing, with 25 years of experience in the publishing industry. Raised in a family of crafters, she grew up listening to the rhythmic clicking of knitting needles, the soundtrack of her life. For Jonna, knitting is a sanctuary, offering peace and calm from the demands of daily life and soothing her busy mind.
