You may not think of summer as knitting season since it’s a time to get out of the house, enjoy the outdoors, and embrace the warm weather. However, I’m here to tempt you with five beautiful projects that are perfect for working on during those sunny summer months. Some projects are small and quick, and others can be made with light-weight yarns that won’t heat you up while knitting them. Let us know which ones are your favorites!
1. Pink Lemonade Dishcloth
Designed by Corrina Ferguson
Free Pattern on The Knitting Circle
This simple dishcloth isn’t just named for the bright colors, but because it’s also an easy-peasy lemon squeezy project to knit. Worked diagonally in garter stitch, it’s super quick to make a bunch of these for you and your friends. Grab your needles and worsted weight kitchen cotton and make something happy for your kitchen!
2. Rhododendron Shawl
Designed by Jen Lucas
Available in The Knitting Circle Pattern Shop
The Rhododendron Shawl is a top-down crescent shawl with a knitted-on border. The shawl begins with a garter tab cast on and goes straight into the lace charts that are worked throughout the body of the shawl. Once the body of the shawl is complete, additional stitches are cast on and a knitted-on edging is worked. Rhododendron is created using 600 yards of sport weight yarn.
3. Halaine Tee
Designed by Corrina Ferguson
Available in The Knitting Circle Pattern Shop
The Halaine Tee is an enchanting summery tee with figure-flattering details. The empire waist styling combined with the ruffled edges make for a feminine, wearable top that can be dressed up or down! Wear it with jeans or shorts for a casual look as shown or go sophisticated by pairing it with a pencil skirt or tailored trousers.
4. Child’s Pineapple Hat
Designed by Corrina Ferguson
Free Pattern on The Knitting Circle
Looking for a unique, cute hat to knit for a little one in your life? This pineapple hat is absolutely adorable and isn’t as difficult as it looks. Worked in a bulky yarn, it’s sized for baby through teen. This quick project is perfect for knitting in the warmer months, so you’ll be ready to bring a little bit of sweetness to the colder months.
5. Tabulated Shawl
Designed by Meghan Jones
Available in The Knitting Circle Pattern Shop
This fun shawl is worked mostly in garter stitch with alternating gradient colors. The border is worked at the same time as the garter stitch section and features double yarn overs and wrapped stitches with a wide fringed edge. Pick your favorite colors to make the perfect summer accessory!
I think I joined premium knitting. I don’t have a record of it. I don’t like receiving these e mails about crochet and art making. I don’t want emails every day about knitting. Please tell me if I paid for a premium membership
