One thing we tend to dismiss during the warmer months is the art of knitting and crochet, it’s very much associated with being cold! I wanted to share some great ideas on how we can incorporate it into the coming months where we aren’t in need of a chunky scarf or cardie. I’ve put together my favourite ideas so hopefully it will inspire you to not put your knitting needles and crochet hooks down just yet.

Idea 1 – Brighten your knitwear colours!

British weather can be really up and down and hard to estimate if we need something warm. For that reason, idea number one is to make your knitwear in bright colours. It’s okay to still wrap up warm but think pretty embellishments, pastel shades and floral’s for more of a summery feel.


Ideas 2 – Crochet Dresses.

Festival season is coming up so now is the time to get making some bright granny square dresses! They are the perfect look for a fun, boho and retro style when dancing to your favourite music in a field. If you make one have a look at the knitting patterns from Deramores, they have yarns (wool) and loads of ideas. 


Idea 3 – Picnic Blanket

Unpack your colourful blankets from storage and let them come with you on days out. They make the perfect picnic blanket or car journey blanket for little ones sleeping. You can even drape one on a garden chair to add a pop of colour to your outdoor décor. 

If you keep an open mind there are still plenty of things you can be making this season. Knitting doesn’t always have to be associated with colder weather and in fact projects can be fun to work on in the garden under the sunshine. So get your thinking caps on and let me know in the comments what you plan on making.
