3 bonus patterns for summer inspiration!
Dear Knitting Friend,
Summer’s a great time to be outdoors with friends and family — relaxing, soaking up the sun, and enjoying good food and good conversation. If you’re like me, you like to keep your hands busy, and summer is no exception! I always like to have a project close at hand, and that includes when I’m outdoors. If you’re looking for your next project, you’ll find it (or the inspiration for it) in our I Like Knitting Summer Knitting Calendar. It’s packed with tips, challenges, patterns, and more!
Our Summer Knitting Calendar is bright, colorful, and convenient — perfect for printing out and putting up in your favorite knitting space. Ideal as a calendar to keep on your computer for quick ideas. Super convenient to print out and bind like a booklet to take with you when you travel! Mark special dates and be sure to have a few projects on hand when you hit the road.

Our I Like Knitting Summer Knitting Calendar is packed with tips, challenges, bonus patterns, and more! Starting with June, get a reminder of key dates in the month: Flag Day, Father’s Day, Juneteenth, and, of course, the first day of Summer! The second weekend in June was made for knitters. June 10th is Worldwide Knit in Public Day — show the world your love of knitting! And June 11th is officially Yarn Bombing Day! It’s one of my favorite stash busting days of the year (and a great reason to head to the yarn shop later)! All these dates are already marked for you in June!
Get a tip and a challenge for June, July, and August — with stunning projects for summer wear and beyond! Pack up your travel yarn bag (I keep mine by the door) so you can always be sure to have a project to work on wherever you are. The Paloma Shawl is a real stunner, complete with a faux crochet lace border that gives this shawl a real light and breezy feel! Knit on circular needles to hold all the stitches, you’ll work this piece flat. When you’re done, you’ll have a wow-worthy shawl for any occasion. I like to wear mine for seaside sunset strolls!
July is National Anti-Boredom Month. Of course, it’s hard to be bored when you’re knitting, so you certainly won’t be bored! Try making our Bonfire Cowl in vibrant fireside colors. The easy-to-memorize pattern is relaxing, and you’ll love the draping options you get with this longer cowl. You won’t want to put this festive cowl away at the end of the summer — keep it handy for colorful fireside wear even when the weather turns cooler.
August is National Dog Month — the perfect time to start planning a cold-weather sweater or bandana for your favorite pup! As you plan your knitting for the month, keep in mind that it’s always a good idea to buy a little extra yarn in the same dye lot — just in case! Use your August calendar to make plans to get together with your knitting buddies for support, inspiration, and stash busting ideas.
If it’s been a while since you made yourself something nice, maybe it’s time for a new summer sweater. You’ll love the flowing, scalloped design of our Wild & Free Top. The cap sleeves and flattering drape of this sweater will make it a new favorite! As a bonus, this sweater is reversible, with a V-neck on one side and a scoop neck on the other! Lightweight, lovely, and versatile!
These three bonus patterns are part of our I Like Knitting Summer Knitting Calendar. It’s ready and waiting for you now. You’ll love the bright Summer colors of the calendar, the fun tips, creative challenges, and, of course, the fabulous patterns included in the calendar. Unwind a little this summer with some easy and fabulous projects that are perfect to work on wherever your summer travels take you!
