Summer 2020: Craft in the summer sun now.

Dear users, dear authors,
let’s get started with the 2020 summer designs.
Have fun with them.

Authors,
There’s no limit on the number of submissions. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

You can always use a new beach bag! This one is crocheted with double stitches in the tapestry technique, so the beautiful maritime pattern almost takes shape all by itself. The technique is explained in detail in the pattern.
The bag will be approx. 40 x 43 cm.
Please click here for the crochet pattern!

From the leftover yarn, you can also crochet a sunglasses case to match the beach bag:

You can find the crochet pattern for the glasses case here!

You can always use a shirt in the summer, and this one knits up quickly and looks very elegant thanks to its light lace pattern.
Depending on the size, you’ll need 200–300 g of yarn with a yardage of 400 m per 100 g.
Sizes range from S to XXL.
The lace pattern is also shown in a chart.

For experienced knitters, this is a lovely project that you can start right away.

Teddies (25–30 cm) need sporty clothes in summer too. I designed this summer outfit for my Fynn. It’s very easy to knit, also suitable for beginners with basic skills.

The Isabelle summer cardigan is a light little summer cardigan for cooler evenings. It goes with any summer outfit and looks just as good with a summer dress as with jeans. It is worked like a shrug/soul warmer and is finished in no time.

The Bolero Camille is perfect for transitional weather. It’s still too warm for a sweater or jacket. But wearing just a top leaves you shivering? Then the Bolero Camille is just right for you! Casual and playful at the same time, you can wear it with jeans or a skirt.

This makes us feel like taking long walks in the woods. Fresh green leaves, birdsong, well, and mosquito bites are part of it too.
