Pattern: I'm So Basic by Summer Lee

Yarn: Summer Socks by Laines du Nord 

From Ravelry.com:
This free pattern will teach you how to knit a basic sock using the Magic Loop method! The basic sock is a work of structural knitting genius - it looks far more complicated to make than it actually is, and once you get the hang of the construction, you’ll find yourself knitting more pairs than you know what to do with!

Plain socks (often called vanilla socks) are perfect for showcasing special skeins of yarn, and for relaxing with a mindless, soothing project that allows you to happily knit while you chat with friends, binge watch your favorite show, or read a book.

This pattern and tutorial includes links to videos that show you exactly how to knit each part of the amazing basic sock using the Magic Loop Method. Additionally pictures and explanations are included throughout the pattern to help you learn the addictive art of sock knitting!

This scarf is effortlessly knit on the bias, highlights your palette, drapes beautifully when worn, and will return year after year to keep you warm and stylish. It’s the perfect canvas to play with beautiful yarns, transitioning colors through a combination of garter, stockinette, and easy-to-knit wildflowers.

June Dream in Color Pop-up

This month's Pop-up color, Garden Social, is paired up with a fun, easy to memorize project, the Please RSVP Cowl which is knit with just one skein of Smooshy Cashmere. Wear the finished cowl in a single loop to add a punch of color to an outfit. Double it up? Don’t mind if I do. The generous size makes it a snap to loop more than once for a little extra coziness. This cowl is worked in the round from the bottom up with a spiraling lace stitch pattern.

The pattern is free with the purchase of the yarn for the pattern.

Pattern: Ashes by Joji Locatelli

Yarn: Practically Perfect Sock by Emma's Yarn and Marvelous Mohair by Emma's Yarn

From Ravelry.com:

Ashes is a dainty rectangular wrap with lace edges. It is worked in 2 different yarns: a fingering weight merino and a lace weight mohair.

This wrap is huge and because we are alternating the yarn (not using them together) it uses less yarn and it is much more lightweight.

Pattern: Shh! Shawl by Jennifer Weissman

Yarn: Cotton + Merino Chic by Juniper Moon Farm

From Ravelry.com:

This shawl starts with a simple garter-stitch triangle. When the triangle is deep enough, leaves begin to grow down the center in a field of stockinette. The shawl finishes with a ribbon of garter stitch with pretty eyelet accents.

Although the pattern calls for aran-weight yarn, you can easily substitute worsted or DK. Just choose an appropriate needle size and repeat the lace rows until you are happy with the dimensions.
