    Summer Sweater Favorites

    My favorite season of all time is basically right upon us! Honestly, not many really correlate summer and knitting. Knitting is more cozy, hunkered in, cool weather vibes. I tend to love the summer knitting and knitwear. There’s something so cute about a knit tank or a knit cardigan to wear on those summer mornings and evenings. Plus, these knitwear pieces don’t take too long to do! Unless of course you’re going for a larger cotton knit. But it’s always worth it. I love a good cotton sweater over wool!

    The summer daisy sweater will forever be one of my favorites. It’s oversized and uses basic knitting stitches, fun color work, and the little flowers are my favorite!

    The bring me coffee cardi is absolutely perfect for your summer morning coffee runs or enjoying a coffee on the porch in the evenings! It’s another one that’s fast to work up and is lightweight and breathable with the open stitch work.

    The Inez summer sweater is one of my best selling patterns! This sweater I designed and knit right after my dad passed away and it holds a moment in time where I needed something fun and colorful. It’s one of my designs that I really would like to find time to knit another of!

    The peachy sunsets tee is what you need for a more laid back and simple style when you want to wear a graphic tee but need a bit more polishing. Your perfect companion for pairing with some denim shorts and browsing the farmers markets!

    The Freya summer sweater was a design I did for a collaboration with hobbii yarn and is another favorite! This yarn is super light so it makes it perfect for a summer piece. The open shoulders and mesh stitch also add a little fun to the overall vibe.

    Summer is when most of the amazing adventures happen, the most beautiful photos taken, the best sunsets and travels, and you need to have some summer knitwear to top it off. It is so much more than just a piece of clothing. It holds memories. Memories from when you knit it, memories from when you wore it. Make it count.

    All sweater patterns are available in my Etsy shop here or in my Shopify shop here!

  • Meet Me In Paradise Tank Design

    Meet Me In Paradise Tank Design

    The warm weather months are coming in hot! Figuratively and literally. In our Midwest region, we’ve seen snowfall for seven months straight. It’s at the point where it’s nearly unbearable.

    I’ve officially made the switch over to the cool breathable knitwear designs starting with the meet me in paradise tank. Knit on larger than usually used for cotton needles, it’s incredibly airy.

    I used some of my favorite summer stitches to make it even more open, the mesh and drop stitches. I love the detail they add to the look of it.

    This top takes minimal seaming. I’m talking only the shoulders! I decided to make the top apron style and made ties to hold the two body panels together. It’s seriously the most perfect summer piece. Even as a swim coverup!

    The meet me in paradise tank is the perfect piece for every level of knitter. Beginners can practice their stitches, and more intermediate and advanced knitters can just have fun!
