A Note from the Editor
After months of bone-chilling weather, nothing feels sweeter than hot summer sunshine. How will you enjoy this shift in season? A day trip to the beach? A picnic-style party? No matter where your adventures take you, we’ve got the patterns you need to celebrate in style.
Starting with our Knot Over It section, which boasts trendy summer staples including a cropped halter top (with a cinched tie front) and an easy-peasy single-knot headband, you’ll find a variety of pieces you won’t be able to knit fast enough! For lightweight wear, look to the Salt + Sea section which features delicate tops, tanks, totes and the perfect wrap for a day spent lounging on warm sand.
For the home, we’ve got bright pieces bursting with personality. My personal favorite is the Palm-tastic Pillow which puts a palm leaf motif against a pink lemonade background. Throw it on white wicker furniture for a four-season room that’s just itching for a nighttime soiree.
Plus, you won’t want to miss the Denia Dress. Inspired by trendy jean dresses, you won’t believe this project is actually knit. Simple and stylish, it’s the flawless little button-clad outfit for your next family get together.
