Beachwear + Swimwear + Beach Toys—It’s High Time to Get Crafting

Dear users, dear authors,
Summer vacation is just around the corner.
I’m sure some of you—whether users or authors—will want to head to the beach.
Of course, that means you’ll need skirts, shirts, mesh shirts, tops, dresses, shorts, picnic blankets, sun protection, pareos or sarongs, and ponchos for the evening. And, of course, you’ll need crocheted bikinis for sunbathing.
In addition to sun protection, kids naturally need plenty of toys, as well as bags or storage baskets to keep their toys organized.

You’ll need to get started on these right away, because summer won’t wait forever.
Just get started right away, because the anticipation of summer is the greatest joy, especially when the weather is lousy from time to time.

Dear authors,
please post thematically appropriate patterns here in this thread, each with a link, text, and image.
Please also include information about the materials, the difficulty level, what makes the pattern special, and the technique used. Have fun!

This airy little summer poncho is just the thing for balmy summer evenings! Whether with jeans, a summer dress, or a skirt, it goes perfectly with any outfit! The poncho is first knitted as a simple rectangle in a very easy lace pattern, and if you like, you can then add the finishing touch with the crocheted border.

You can download the pattern for sizes 36-46 here:

Also a great summer companion: my popular Shrug/Bolero "Summer-Blush"! Here too, the base is a simple rectangle that is then shaped accordingly! Start knitting right away so it will be ready in time for the summer holidays!!The knitting pattern for sizes 34-50 can be downloaded here:

Best wishes, Annette
