Cotton Knit Tunic

August 5, 2017

It is the beginning of August and very hot here in Texas.  Since the weather is warmer I try and knit with lighter yarns that are made of cotton.  Knitting with wool or chunky yarn is not very appealing to me when the temperatures get above 90 degrees.

I recently finished this design for a cotton knit tunic.  It is knit with a yarn from Hobby Lobby called I Love This Cotton – perfect for lighter weight summer projects.

This cotton knit tunic features a drop stitch pattern in the lower half and a scoop neckline.  It can be worn as a tank top or with a shirt underneath as a vest when the weather is cooler.

The Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton yarn works well for this knit tunic pattern.  I think other 100% cotton yarns would also work well that are a medium weight.  I will probably be knitting another one soon in a cotton and acrylic yarn blend that I have in my stash from Knit Picks yarn company.

Rib Knit Tunic Sweater

April 17, 2015

This is a project that I actually finished a month or so ago but have not gotten around to posting about it.  I don’t know where time goes these days but it sure does go by quickly.  brown rib knit tunic made by Kimberlee

This tunic style sweater was designed by me with a fun rib knit stitch.  Even though I finished it closer to spring than winter I have been able to wear it a couple of times since it has been a cooler spring so far.  Also, I plan to be able to wear it in the coming fall and winter since it is a classic style.

I am currently working out the final details for the pattern for this sweater and I will have it available soon in my etsy shop and on craftsy.

The weather is starting to get warmer lately so I will be breaking out the lace or cotton weight yarns and designing some new wraps and sweaters with them.  Currently I am working on finishing a worsted weight wrap pattern that I will be sharing on my blog soon and I also have a cardigan sweater pattern that I am designing in a worsted weight.

What knitting or crochet projects are you currently working on?   Let me know in the comments – I would love to hear about them.

Have a good weekend!
