I needed a simple and quick cotton knit for summer! I’d been planning on knitting a matching tank for my Zoey cardigan for quite awhile and this was it! I like designing a basic base and then adding a little extra detail. So with this tank, I started with a basic scoop shape for the front and a deeper u shape in the back, a stockinette stitch, then finished it off with the ties. I made them long enough so that they can be versatile to wear them in a couple different ways. This tank pattern is easy to knit and I would consider it for advanced beginners. There’s some shaping involved! But if you’re a beginner and like to try new things, give it a go! You’ll love it!

This sweater pattern I released back in April, but never got around to posting here. I needed something fun and bright and airy for spring and summer! I like to mix up stitches with big cotton projects because it helps the knitting seem to go by faster. Any knitting of continuously the same stitch tends to make my motivation to finish it falter. So this sweater is big and oversized, varying stitches and color patterns, and a pretty fun piece to do! With the holes on the arms, I used duplicate stitch to add little colorful flowers, which I just love how they turned out! It’s really a piece that’ll make you happy.

Spring is coming! Happy days. I decided to do one last oversized chunky knit to end the winter season. I’m not sad about winter leaving, but knitting these super fast knits on big needles was a big upside to winter. The Kels Marie sweater took about eight hours to knit! When you’re short on time, but really really need a new sweater, this is how you do it. Grab your big needles, 25mm (US 50), some big super chunky weight yarn, and get busy!
The Kels Marie sweater uses six skeins of We Are Knitters “the wool”. This colorway, called neon marshmallow, is currently out of stock last I checked. I’m not sure if they have a waiting list for it right now or not, but it’s worth checking and signing up for! It’s literally a dream come true and you do need it in your life.
This sweater is fairly easy to knit. The ribbing is a basic twisted rib. Which, if you’re not familiar with, is knitting and purling through the back loops. It’s super easy and gives it a pretty braided look. I always always use twisted rib! After the ribbing comes a little bit of mesh stitch, or holey stitch, I’ve seen it called a few different things. Then the remainder is knit in your basic stockinette stitch! Nothing complicated. The sleeves have a few increases, and that’s about it! A beginner knitter can knit this sweater. 😊
This sweater just gives me all the happy vibes. And you know we all need as many of those as we can get.
