TOP 9 summer knits I'd love to make

Summer season is so short here in Northern Europe, that it’s a real stretch to knit and still wear all the summer items I’d like to have. This summer I’ve knitted two summer tops and put the rest beautiful designs into the Top 10 list. The selection features designed from various years so it is not exactly this summer designs, but I would like to have them this summer so they are on the list. Hope you’ll get inspired or even pick something for the last months of the summer season. Enjoy!

This design captured my heart at first sight. I love tops like that and the idea of knitting one was so tempting. It was not an easy one to make, because of all the neat finishing details, however - a really great staple item to have in the closet.

3. Sonya Shirt

By @paulastrick

I love the shape of this design. I dreamed of designing a similar cut top myself after an old sweater I had once.
It shows in full beauty the power or minimalistic and clean design.

4. Soho Top

By @caidree

Once again minimal simple stitch design that looks luxurious. No wonder this pattern is so popular. It most likely will make its way to my needles as well.

5. Ingrid Top

By @giagoriafibers

I like the look of lace, especially when it is clean and simple like in this design. I considered making this top last year but ended up not making any summer tops. However, I want to keep it on my list, because I remember this look from time to time.

6. Pyramid Cardigan

By @minimaknits

Don't you think this design looks a little bit like architecture? Clean geometrical shapes forming the item really appeal to me. And it is reversible! Give so many options to wear the piece.

7. Daybreak Sweater Tee

By @tayleranneknits

I don't know why but Gartner stitch stripes always capture my attention and are so beautiful to me. I like the crop, the boxy shape and stripes of this design.

8. Late Summer Wrap

By @knittingforolive

A combination of the light summer dress and a soft knitted sweater is so cozy and probably illustrates my ideal summer evening attire for the live outdoor music performance.

9. Sunset Camisole

By @sari_n_

That drape accent in this design makes it special for me. I have seen so many beautiful versions of this top, that it earned a place in my list. For me, this is an evening type of camisole for attracting attention yet being so "just enough".

Cudos to all the designers! Thank you for the making and inspiring!
