Lightweight yarns and delicate lace make these seaside staples the perfect knitting patterns for summer.
Dear Knitting Enthusiast,
Summer style is all about slowing down and keeping cool. Light fabrics and lace patterns are essential for those hot, sunny days when a gentle breeze coming off the water feels like the most wonderfully relaxing moment ever. Airy linens, soft cottons, and superfine wool yarns are the perfect medium to evoke the essence of those summer elements: sand, sea, and sun.
Whether you prefer the clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean or a rippling stream in the mountains, summer knits can help take you there. And The Seaside Staples Knitting Collection has just the patterns. In fact, you’ll find 35 patterns in this collection, from cozy beach cardigans to fashionable cover ups to pullovers and tanks that easily go from the beach to the bistro to the backyard. You’ll even find some summer-inspired totes, accessories, and home decor.
Skip the mall and pick up The Seaside Staples Knitting Collection for unique summer fashion that’s as fun to make as it is to wear. The patterns in this collection offer a range of projects for beginner, intermediate, and advanced knitters.
Here’s a look at some of the patterns included in The Seaside Staples Knitting Collection.
You’re sure to turn heads when you wear the Santorini Stripes Asymmetrical Tank. This advanced-level pattern from designer Adrienne Larsen makes use of shifting colors and short rows to create a stunning piece suggesting a coastal view where the land fades into the shifting colors of the ocean.
For a pattern that brings to mind a lazy day floating on the river, the Rippling Waters Top, from designer Paola Albergamo, belongs on your list. Feminine and easy to wear, this lightweight sleeveless piece plays with movement to give the impression of dappled sunlight on the surface of slow-moving waters. Made with linen and silk yarns, this top doesn’t just look fabulous; it feels fabulous, too.
Your Guide to Knitting Success
The Seaside Staples Knitting Collection has something for you, whether you’re just picking out your first skein of yarn or you have years of experience. Patterns like the elegant and flowy Seabreeze Pullover or the toddler-sized Aloha Stripes Beach Dress are easy, beginner-level projects. More experienced knitters can choose from advanced patterns like the dramatic Water’s Edge Tunic or the versatile Isla Cardigan with an all-over lace pattern.
Whatever you choose, remember that every pattern in this collection, and in fact, every pattern we publish in I Like Knitting, comes complete with:
- A full list of all yarn and tools
- Row by row instructions
- Special stitch instructions
- Pattern notes
- Detailed, full-color photography
It really is as easy as possible to create stunning pieces. Check out some more of the patterns in The Seaside Staples Knitting Collection.
Even though summer days can be hot, summer nights can come with a slight chill in the air. But you’ll never have to worry about a cool breeze with the Current Cardi. Designer Kristin Jones created this pattern with 100% Superwash Merino wool, so you’ll be comfy no matter what adventures the evening brings. And with interlacing cables resembling overlapping waves, you’ll look just as good as you feel.
Of course, it’s always good to have a bag handy to carry all your summer accessories, and the Bay Scallop Beach Tote is a beach day classic. Designer Kimberly Kalnoki created this pattern with a variety of textured stitches and simple colorwork to illustrate a seashell washed ashore by gentle ocean waves. The result is a versatile, everyday bag that carries all your essentials and a reminder of those sunny, relaxed days with your toes in the sand and the seagulls soaring on the breeze.
Find the perfect additions to your summer wardrobe in The Seaside Staples Knitting Collection. From funky to functional and subdued to striking, you’re sure to find inspiration in the latest collection from I Like Knitting.
- Easy breezy: For an easy, stylish project, try the Sea Salt Shawl. This soft and airy asymmetrical shawl is the perfect companion to the beach on any warm summer day.
- Challenging and unique: The Riley Halter Cover-Up combines a conservatively cut front with an openwork scaly lace in the back for the perfect cover-up that everyone will envy.
