We already told you: We are in summer mode. Which is not to say that we are no longer looking for beautiful yarns, tutorials and more inspiration for you. No, no. But knitting-wise, the summer pieces are now gradually moving onto our needles. And today we tell you which ones they are. Because maybe one or the other still needs a project for the vacation!

Marisa fell in love with the Camisole No. 4 from My Favourite Things Knitwear right when the tutorial came out. But the top is also beautiful! And the thought of knitting it out of pure silk puts you in a good mood! That's why you'll find Jaipur Silk Fino from BC Yarn in the knitting kit. How about a camisole in night blue, for example?
Alternatively, you can knit the top but also great from the Økologisk Sommeruld of CaMaRose. You know when you have yarns on your list that you want to use someday (you know, in the next life of a knitter)? That's how it is for me with the Sommeruld. But somehow it's also a nice problem when you can't decide between two yarns.
Sandra is also sometimes sleeveless in the summer knitting. Her favorite: the Emma Top from Paula_m. A wonderful basic shirt in a semi-patent. You'll find four different variations in the knitting kit, as you can knit the top with a low back neckline as well as closed. With Cosma and Perla from LAMANA you can work the version with a back neckline, with Duo from SANDNES or Summerlite DK from Rowan you can knit the design with a closed back. Of course, you can always use up scraps of yarn for summer tops. So if you need the pattern separately, you can find them here.

Before we switch to the covered arms faction right away, here's another design with thin straps: Arlene's summer favorite is the Nordic Summer Dress from WitreDesign. Since I'm knitting a dress myself right now, I strongly support this choice. And of course not only so that someone else has to knit endless rounds of stockinette stitch 😉 As yarn you can take here as in the original also the line of SANDNES. By the way, knitting is done from the bottom up. In this respect, you have the endless rounds at the beginning of the project - also somehow practical.
Rather something with sleeves?
Jule and I have chosen designs with sleeves for the summer favorites. But we also have travel headgear. That's just not possible with summer knits, especially not when the designers come from Denmark or Norway.
The head (and heart of course) behind this top-down design is Nina Ruth from Norway (Oslo to be exact, but I didn't want to torture you with too beautiful pictures in your head). Nina is known for her twist designs. And also this Twist Tee has it, of course: a knitted knot whose ends are sewn to the hem at the end. The yarn used is also the Line from SANDNES. Be sure to check out the Norwegian's other designs - there are more tops and shirts!

My summer favorite is the Anchor's Summer Shirt from PetiteKnit, also knitted from the Line knitted by SANDNES. I wear it all the time because it's just so uncomplicated. You can combine it dressy or casual - making it the perfect everyday companion for me (admittedly, I'm often casual due to pandemic). It's also a super project for beginners. The pattern from PetiteKnit are detailed to just the right degree - and here you can practice knitting top down with a round yoke.
And what do you knit in the summer? Do you already have a project or could we inspire you? Tell us about it in the comments! But for now we wish you a good start into the summer and many beautiful knitting hours on the balcony, in the garden, on the beach, ...

I have for this summer already the muutos tee of frl. Städtisch and the jiri tee of Fadenstille test knitted. 2 great designs that can be knitted with different sleeve lengths. Next I will knit myself another Beate shirt, this time from the Bora, pure wild silk, a wonderful summer material.

That fits like a glove, Sophia.... I'm wavering between the Ankers Summer shirt and the Mapala shirt from the line. I like it in the summer but not so tight. Does the Line still widen a bit? On paper, the Ankers Summer shirt looks more tightly cut than the Mapala shirt. And I would like something loose fitting.
Love from the sunny and hot north, Kathrin🌸
Dear Kathrin, I'm wearing the Summer shirt right now and don't feel it's tight. In fact, from the pictures, I would almost say that both styles are similarly loose fitting, except for the sleeves. They actually look looser on the Mapala shirt. Since the Rosa P. design also has a small side slit, I think you're on the safe side if you don't want it to be too tight. But the stitch test is important either way: I knit very loosely, for example, and have to go down with the needle size, especially with the line, because otherwise the stitch definition was much too restless and the yarn actually gives a little after washing. I am curious how you decide and wish you in any case a lot of fun knitting! Love, Sophia
