We know warm summer weather is in full swing for most of us. Even though we’re trying to beat the heat, we still want fun things to knit! So today, we set Crystal Coast free.
Crystal Coast uses Cotton Supreme DK Seaspray and Cotton Supreme DK with a welt and slip stitch pattern to create a graphic and fun texture. Inspired by the Cape Lookout Lighthouse along the Crystal Coast of NC, this design features the light shining at one end, with the waves of the sea flowing along the other. The cotton will keep you cool, so you can proudly wear this scarf through the summer!
Cotton Supreme DK Seaspray is now on sale, so why not pick your favorites and make one Crystal Coast scarf for you, and one for your bestie? With everyone spending a lot of time at home these days, a handmade gift in the mail is a much appreciated treasure.
It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, the Becca Tank in Cotton Supreme DK Seaspray (pattern link here).
If you’re looking for a cool summer tank, this is it. Lightweight, ultra-soft, and with just the right amount of color, this seamless top is as fun to knit as it is to wear.
We love the misty effect of Cotton Supreme DK Seaspray. White and beautiful colors are dappled against one another. In this top, skeins are alternated to create subtle stripes.
The Becca Tank features I-cord straps that make the armhole depth completely adjustable. Plus, it looks great on its own or layered over another tank. The best part: this is a pretty fast knit! You’ll have plenty of time to both knit and wear this top before the warm weather disappears.
We hope you love this week’s free pattern. Happy crafting!
Last week we released an exciting new ebook – Stellar Supreme – a collection of patterns in the Cotton Supreme family. The ebook features six new patterns for future space explorers. We’ve been so excited about this collection because of its galactic theme.
Blast-Off Tee
Just take a look at Blast-Off: a colorwork yoke tee worked up in Cotton Supreme Seaspray and Cotton Supreme DK. Vibrant rockets are featured on a “starry” background.
Bleep-Bloop
Or how about the in-house favorite: Bleep-Bloop. This alien-hoodie is so much fun. Crocheted using Cotton Supreme, this zippered sweater serves as a costume as much as everyday wear. The structure of this design is pretty basic, but the applied eyes, ears, and horn really make this piece by Amy Gunderson special.
Spectral Throw
Amy and I always wanted to include some home-decor to the collection. Stellar Supreme features one crochet and one knit blanket. The Spectral Throw nods to astronomy and plays with the electromagnetic spectrum.
Galactic Blanket
Nebula Skirt
This little skirt incorporates slip-stitches at the hem to create alternating rows of stars. An elastic waistband gives the Nebula Skirt a professional finish. The Nebula Skirt uses both Cotton Supreme DK and Cotton Supreme DK Seaspray.
Starfall Tank
Finally, we have Starfall. A tank-top knit in Cotton Supreme featuring cute shoulder ties. The lace hem was inspired by the movement of falling stars.
So, which one of these delightful patterns will be the next thing on your needles? We hope you love the new collection as much as we do! You can find the entire collection on our website (link) and on Ravelry (link).
Happy crafting!
How’s your summer going? Are you still looking for that perfect project that will be satisfying to make but not stifle you in the heat?
Voila! Amy Gunderson’s Mars Tee! Crocheted in the round from the bottom up, this beauty is sized from XS to 4X, with shaping that starts out a little bigger at the base, for those of us with a bigger… um… base. The point is, this is comfortable and cool.
Double-crocheting three together makes cute little eyelets without making the fabric too lacey-loose.
From personal experience, I can tell you that the Cotton Supreme family is easy on the hands to use. Go with either the called-for Cotton Supreme DK Seaspray, or try solid Cotton Supreme DK. How cute would this look striped?

We hope you have a great weekend, with lots of time for you to take care of yourself.
