A little bit of colourwork and a ittle bit of texture go a very long way here with this super light and whimsical stripey triangle. I realise there are no shortage of narrow scarflette things out there right now but it was the tassles on this one – I just couldn’t leave them behind.
It wants to be light and loose so any of J&S, Kinross, Exmoor or Riverknits Nene would fit the bill beautifully.

Ingenious and beautifully concieved shaping on the ribbing around the bust, singles out this cropped vest-ish top. It’s clear from the upper and lower bust sizing notes that LBK has thought through the sizing really carefully. They’ve gone pretty strong on the negative ease (40%!), so I’m tempted to say you’d be as safe with pure cotton as the merino cotton blend in the pattern. Rosarios4 For Nature, Principe Real, Rosa Pomar Mungo would all work a treat.

Delightfully diminutive bobbly bobbles, a ruffle that niftily skirts the grown up side of cute, and a just-for-the-knitter toe detail – KK has surpassed herself with these Peppercorns. Perfect for holidaying knitters who like a bit of heel technique to look forward to but don’t have an appetite for undivided knitting focus.

The Exmoor Sock or the Mondim would give you earthy tones like the picture. The Edelweiss would take you somewhere altogether softer and alpacerier, but aren’t these the perfect ones to make the most of our massively reduced on-sale Town Dyer 4ply sock?!

Yes, they’re noisy and will nosh your ice cream if you don’t look out, but they’re also the sound of the seaside and the summer, plus I suspect that the gulls on SLK’s sock cuffs are probably very friendly when you get to the know them, not to mention huge fun to knit.
Best would be to use up your left over scraps from stash for the colourwork, but if you haven’t got the right ones there, the Edelweiss is ideal as that comes in diddy 25g balls. Other sock yarns that would be beautiful for this design include Exmoor Sock, Mondim and Town Dyer 4ply.

Sometimes – or perhaps often – you know you love something before you know why. This basket bag had me from the moment my IG algorithm introduced us. A reassuringly sturdy block bottom with exposed chunky seams to emphasise it’s boxy shape, and I know it’s not relevant to the pattern at all, but oh, those blues! To get the most out of this one, you’ll want to use a toughy fibre like the Rosarios 4 Damasco , but if it’s the blues you want, then it has to be the Kalinka linen held double(which is pretty much an exact match for PS’s Blackbird Linen held single), and probably in the Kongo blue shade.

AM calls this one a tank but there’s something in the prettiness of all those buttons and the loose fit, which I think is giving more whimsy camisole vibes. Cleverly constructed so that your knitting direction goes sideways with a basketweave stitch, so there’s no danger of it getting stretched out of shape.

I can’t see past our favourite summer yarns: Saona, Madragoa, Kalinka, For Nature, but if you read AM’s notes, you might be tempted in a woolier direction (Birlinn, Cautiva, Ulysse, Xolla would all give the gauge) so you can wear it over a long sleeve in the winter.

What is it about triangles and stripes? This one is so simple, with endless colour and pattern permutations – I’m on my 4th bunting scarf this summer with every chance I might get to ten by the end of the year. As easy to knit as it is to wear, and perfect for colour blocking, striping or just working plain.

We’ve made a kit for this one so you can go the same way as Meg, and use her Birlinn Hebridean wool from her own flock of sheep that graze just outside her studio, or use whatever yarn you have to hand, with the needle size it it says on the label. I promise you it will work, and you will love it.

KK has taken the guernsey stitch samplering idea here and localised it with the pussy willows and paddy field irrigation channels that tell the tale of her favourite walk by her house. It’s everything I love in a pair of socks. Like a binge-worthy box set in sock-knitting form, this episodic knitting is completely addictive.

The gauge is bang on for regular socks so any of our sock favourites will work fine for these:  Exmoor Sock, Mondim or Town Dyer 4ply

Ok, I hear you already, you’re on holiday, there’s not much of it left, there’s wispy clouds and a horizon to stare at. You want child’s pose, not downward dog or angry cat. Here you go then.. the simplest triangle which comes with the added bonus of being a perfect learn-to-knit project if you’ve got any bored half-pinters with you, and oh yes! It turns into a bandana-hair wrap to keep your hair out of your face if the wind picks up.

Knit it cool with Kalinka linen, or nudge it very slightly warmer with Saona, or go the full autumn and do it in Cautiva or Ulysse.
