Our Spring & Summer Collection

3 to Knit

This effortless bolero is a piece you’ll grab again and again, all spring & summer. The Malibu Bolero (Knit) features an elegant mix of textures, enhanced by the neutral color. It’s 24/7 Cotton, so it’ll feel like and smooth even on warmer days, and it’s easy to pop in the wash, and wear again. The thick ribbing along the front panels is un-fussy, and the zigzag hem along the back adds an element of flirtation.

Folklore Top (K)

The Folklore Top (Knit) is a tangerine dream! This substantial orange hue elevates citrus, while remaining comfortable enough for everyday wear. The little stitching detail around the notched neckline is so fetching – adding an element of ‘handmade’ to an otherwise very neat design. It’s a Level 3 Intermediate pattern, perfect for a garment challenge.

Our Kennebunk Cardigan (Knit) is a little more substantial, to wear in the shade on a cooler day, or grab for an evening outdoors. Our Flikka Yarn in Toucan offers a summery vibe, while being understated enough to wear with everything. This yarn is a 3 Light weight and will feel soft without overwhelming you in this easy silhouette.

4 to Crochet

The Orient Beach Tunic (Crochet) is gorgeous to throw on over your suit, and elevate your poolside attire. Grab three skeins of Shawl in a Ball, and whip up this lovely coverup! Pictured here in the Reflective Crystal color, you could certainly try another hue, but this one hints at everything lovely for summer. It’s a Level 2 pattern, perfect for the beginning looking for a fun challenge!

Camel Rock Ripple Afghan (C)

If you’re looking to take your beach game to next-level stylishness, chain the Camel Rock Ripple Afghan (Crochet). These on-trend summer hues leave primary color summer gear in the dust. And our 24/7 Cotton is perfect for the sand! It’s sturdy, and easily laundered, and will feel clean – not cloying – on even the hottest of days. The pattern is simple enough to be your vacation project!

Our Surf Side Top (Crochet) is a serious beauty. The neckline is daring, but also hearkens back to midcentury bathing styles! The color, Cranberry in our ZZ Twist Yarn, is perfect to take your look from afternoon to evening. And you’ll look love looking back at photos from concerts & cookouts of you in this creation! It’s another easy pattern, so you’ll get a big ‘wow!’ without a big headache.

Greenmarket Tote (C)

There’s nothing more carefree than a swinging tote, with an open-weave, so you can see all your gear. The Greenmarket Tote (Crochet) is a quick project, in a lime-y fresh green. Since it’s 24/7 Cotton, it’ll be sturdy enough to carry anywhere, and easily-laundered, for whatever trouble you get into. Bring it wherever your spring & summer adventures take you.
