Hot, sweltering breezes and sticky days under the sun are here again, at least for most of us. Some of you might just be a little leery at the idea of knitting under these soaring temperatures. But, I’m here to say that it doesn’t have to stuffy and uncomfortable! These five ultralight projects are just the ticket for easy, breezy knitting and crochet.
Buchanan – $8 CAD Using every inch of our airy Merino Silk Fine, this little shawl is perfectly luxurious for your summer knitting. It’s deliciously simple to work, too, so pair if up with your favourite bright colours (such as Summer Skin, Glacier, or Juice Box) for a gloriously bold accessory.
Starfish Stole – FREE This crochet shawl, with its utterly gorgeous openwork, is the epitome of summer. Chain stitches and single crochet make it a literal breeze to whip up, while the feel drape and lightness is pure joy.
Reiland – $8 CAD The unique construction is what captures your attention first, but with our Superwash Sport and rich colours, your knitting love will be fully ignited. Delicate lace and captivating texture are positively exquisite from start to finish.
North Wind – $8 CAD This quick one-skein hat features a summery zig-zag pattern over a slouchy, chic silhouette. With its soft, lofty feel knit two-stranded in CashLuxe Fine, it’s just the project for year-round knit and wear.
Marietta Stole – $8 CAD Luxe, lovely, silk, and lacey … there are too many gorgeous words to describe this stole. Knit up with our CashSilk Lace for a dreamy lightness, you will delight in this deceptively easy shawl.
