Gorgeous midsummer knits

Styles for sunny days

We’re having a midsummer knits dream here at Knit Today! This gorgeous weather gives us a chance to indulge in beautifully bright block colours, fine lace, boho knits and sequined knits that catch the summer sunlight. Louisa Harding’s strawberry-red top is perfect for days spent people watching in pavement cafes, while Emma Vining’s light sea green shawl makes us think of seaside strolls and summer holidays. We’ve also got three sweet little knits in ice cream scoop shades, plus the second part of Angela Turner’s farmyard animal set. If you’re awaiting a summer baby then you’ll love Julie Ferguson’s stripey romper and sunset, plus there’s a bonus baby book featuring snuggly Ellie Cat and a papoose by Melanie Porter that will keep your little bundle cosy when the sun goes behind a cloud. So settle down in your favourite outdoor knitting spot with a jug of Pimms, a punnet of strawberries and a copy of Knit Today – that’s if you’re not there already!
