Product Details
Kick off your flip flops, lie back on your sun lounger and relax: summer is here. The top takes its name from a classic record by Kool & The Gang.
It’s time for a bit of super simple knitting. Summer Madness is a project that you can take to the beach, camping, on picnics…anywhere that you’ll enjoy laid-back knitting with minimal effort and concentration. Summer Madness is easy to make and easy to wear: dress it up with a floaty skirt, or down with denim shorts.
Summer Madness ticks all the right boxes…
* Size inclusive, with 9 adult sizes
* Miniskeins
* Colourful stripes
* Simple textures
* A light, drapey fabric
* No complicated shaping
Knit in fingering/4ply yarn on a US 6/4mm needle, Summer Madness works up in a flash. The top is designed for a miniskein set, but why not make up your own palette using miniskeins and sock yarn leftovers from your stash? Alternatively, make yours in a single colour for a classic look.
This pattern has been professionally tech edited, for a trouble-free knit.
