Super Cute Summer Tops to Knit

Getting psyched to knit in the summertime can be difficult. First, who wants a pile of wool on their lap when it’s 100 degrees outside? Plus, who wants to think about winter? (It’s going to be here soon enough!) That’s why I needed to do a little snooping for some summery tops to knit. Here’s the links to the FREE patterns.

The one above is “Muskrat” from Drops.

Check out the DARLING cable action in the Siesta by Carol Feller.

Free Ravelry Download, the “Summer’s End” is sure to become a classic.

The super simple “Easy Side to Side Summer Top” is another Ravelry Download must, AND it’s totally customizable.

Knitty’s “Emaline”, by Jennifer Wood, is about as cute as it gets!

I’m in a book club and a writer’s group. I am not, however, in a proverbial ‘stitch ‘n bitch’. I wish I were, because then I’d have an excellent excuse to make these Knit Night Cupcakes from  VeganYumYum. I remember seeing her on Martha Stewart awhile back demonstrating the technique. They were as charming then as they are now. However, not to sound too much like my mother, they’re almost too cute to eat!

Apparently Smart Cars are like those little hand-bag-sized dogs: They both need sweaters to keep from getting chilly.
