goodbye summer / best of summer 2017

Dear users, dear authors,
summer is more or less over, even though there may still be a few sunny days ahead.
I’m dedicating this thread to all patterns from summer 2017. Here you can stock up once more. Not everything has to be packed away mothproof just yet: tunics can still be worn in fall with a long-sleeved shirt underneath. Patterns for summer scarves can, if needed, be made with slightly thicker yarn and will then keep you warm in fall and winter. There are no limits to your creativity. The prettiest designs are of course still wearable in 2018, too. Have fun with them.

@authors,
2-3 patterns are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual info.

It is also an absolute eye-catcher at parties.

Although they come in summery colors, you can actually use potholders all year round. Or can’t you? They’re knitted from thick cotton, are finished in a flash, and are perfect for beginners. If you want to bring a touch of summer into your kitchen, you should grab them.

You can find the pattern here.

You can easily crochet this scarf in other colors as well. It doesn’t necessarily have to be in floral meadow colors.

You’ll need 2 skeins of sock yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. The pattern is a simple mesh pattern with a few cables in between. There’s a photo tutorial for it.

These short-sleeved ball gowns are always in season. They can be worn all year round. All you need is a few grams of yarn, a set of double-pointed needles, and my pattern. And then you can knit the most beautiful dresses yourself. I hope you enjoy making them.

Warm regards from Ina

Thissummer poncho - as I called it - also looks great with a turtleneck worn underneath, as you can see on my model Petra. It is very easy to knit, even for knitting beginners.

this shirt/tunic is always an eye-catcher. If you lengthen it,
it becomes a great dress or mini dress.

But other sizes are no problem either thanks to the simple cut;
how to do it is also explained in the pattern.

The cuddly soft LAVENDER shawl scarf can also be worn in autumn ♥

This asymmetrical shawl with its unusual pattern is easy to crochet and is described in detail step by step over 10 pages! It also includes a crochet chart for the basic pattern.

I recommend gradient yarn with a suitable hook size and a length of at least 900 m so that the shawl drapes beautifully and softly :-)
