Lily Lace Panama Hat

Today I’d like to share my latest summer hat I have designed for my older daughter. It is Lily Lace Panama Hat.

Decorated with large blue knitted bow and I-cord finishing this panama hat looks so beautiful and elegant on my little princess. I have used my favourite summer cotton yarn Lana Grossa Cotone for this project.

Wide brim is knitted tight enough with garter stitch to keep panama’s shape. Pretty lace stitch is used for panama’s body. What else do you need for the great summer holidays?!

The knitting pattern for the Lily Lace Panama Hat is available from my pattern stores

Daisy Chain Sweater

I've just finished working on my new knitting design - Daisy Chain Sweater.

I think this top will be a perfect addition for the summer wardrobe of my little one. I've managed to complete it just in time for her summer holidays :)

This sweater has short raglan sleeves and wide boat neck. It is knitted in the round and has no any seams! Stockinette stitch is combined with pretty lace stitch around the waist, sleeves and neck edge.
The sweaters front is decorated with knitted flower and matching button.

The photo shoot was a real fun this time:

I used Mary maxim Fresh yarn to make this top. It looks really great on summer projects.

I believe the summer is still a perfect time for pretty knitted hats. So please welcome my new knitting design – Grassland Flower Panama Hat.

For this project I used Egyptian cotton from Lana Grossa. The brim of hat is knitted with two strands of yarn and the body of hat is knitted with one strand.

Diamond Drops Cardigan

Finally, summer has come to the UK and I had a chance to take pictures of couple of my new knitting projects. So today I’d like to share my Diamond Drops Cardigan which I have designed for my younger daughter. 

Diamond Drops Cardigan is knitted with Mary Maxim Fresh Yarn. This pretty and light weight yarn is perfect for summer and spring knitting projects. 100g skein of yarn contains 290 yards. So for this cardigan I used just two skeins of yarn for the size 12-18 months.

I combined two pretty and easy to knit stitches for this cardigan and separated them with couple of rows in garter stitch. I really love how it turned out. Small girls look so gorgeous in swingy shape closing. Front, back and sleeves of the cardigan are knitted separately and then sewn together. The button bands are worked as you go.

The knitting pattern for Diamond Drops Cardigan is available from my pattern stores:
