Bring Your Teddy Bear and Make Him a Sweater

Knitting? In the summer? It's more likely than you think

It's almost summer here in West Vancouver, and though the average person might not necessarily associate summer with knitting, summer might actually be the best ​time of the year to knit. (Along with, you know, all the other times of the year.) Summer garments allow you to be creative with the shapes, colors and materials you use in your knitting. It's the perfect opportunity to start that project you've never been confident enough to try, whether you want to experiment with openwork, use a new linen yarn, or wear bright colors you've never worn before. And at The Knit & Stitch Shoppe, we've got all the supplies you need to get started with your summer knitting adventures. Here are three beautiful projects you can try out this summer with yarns from The Knit & Stitch!
Gemini Pullover (suggested yarn: Phildar Muse)
Picture
This easy, top-down tee features an elegant but simple lace pattern around the yoke. It would be perfect for a cool day spent wandering the beach, or to throw on over a swimsuit - and our Phildar Muse, a light, drapey cotton/linen/tencel blend, would suit this free pattern perfectly.
Summertime Shawl (suggested yarn: Diamond Luxury Collection Summertime)
Picture
This crescent shawl is colorful, fringed, and an easy knit to boot. The free pattern was written specifically for our Diamond Luxury Collection Summertime yarn, a bright, shimmery cotton/acrylic blend. The Summertime Shawl would really shine on a sunny day in the park. 
Cool Summer Shawl (suggested yarn: Cascade Tangier)
Picture
This pattern is an original from our very own Head Knitter, Ingrid - so you'll have to come into the store to get it! It's simple, versatile, and oh-so-easy to knit. I'll be honest with you here - this pattern works with every yarn. But it looks stunning here in Cascade Tangier, a beautiful, textured silk/acrylic/cotton/rayon blend which changes colors as you knit.

Love the cool summer shawl. But just can't pop in the store. I love the colour that you have shown. What would the price be including shipping?

Hey Valerie! Sorry to hear that you can't come by the store.

The shawl pictured is actually a combination of two Tangier colorways, Blue Green and Flowers. Over the next few weeks we're going to be updating our online store, so check back soon for a yarn and pattern kit available for you to purchase. (Shipping varies depending on where you live.)

Thanks for commenting, and happy knitting!
