Summer is the best time to knit. Grab those needles and head outside with one of these stunning, newly-released knitting patterns!

It might be summertime, but I’m a big fan of making serious headway on knitting projects in warm weather. June pattern releases are interesting – you find some amazing, lighter weight patterns coming out this month! You often see accessories designed with more breathable materials, and lace panels featuring cute eyelet details abound. Patterns released in spring and summer give you a great chance to try making something a little different than you’ll come across in colder months. Not only that, what’s better than a little vacation knitting, no matter the season?
