Knit Tops: The Ultimate Summer Knitting Projects

Join us at Maker Festivals Pennsylvania, the ultimate crafting extravaganza in Lancaster from July 31-August 3, 2024, and we will once again be bringing our fiber artists with us! Our festival lineup will have thousands of fiber artists, and jewelry makers!

Knit tops are on our collective minds. This always seems to be the case, but in this instance, we are thinking of summer projects and tops that would enhance our wardrobe during these warmer months. If you’re on the same wavelength, looking to expand your summer wardrobe we have an entire collection of summer tops from knitscene in one handy pattern bundle!

You can get the patterns for favorites like the Chiton Pullover, the Heliosphere Tank, the Joule Pullover, the Linum Tee, and the Radian Yoke from past issues of knitscene. Each of these patterns includes something truly unique and fun to learn, mixed with some speed-knitting sections so you can get these off the needles quickly!

Favorite knitscene Knit Tops

Start making these trendy and stylish tanks and tees in time to savor the warm weather in lightweight fabrics!

The Chiton Pullover is a fun tee with a cowl neck and tie across the bottom. Learn how to make these unique pattern elements that we don’t see often in typical knitting patterns. Its beautiful basic color makes it wearable with any outfit—perfect for a day in the office or a day on a fun summer adventure!

The Heliosphere Tank also utilizes a fun cowl neck, this time with fun racer-back shaping. Use the sporty tank trend as the perfect excuse to make this beautiful knit top for yourself or a friend!

The Joule Pullover also shows off your back and delivers a fresh breeze for the hot summer months with its unique low back and high neck shape. Show off your summer suntan with this glamorous summer shaping!

The Linum Tee is perfectly unique with its openwork yoke and asymmetrical design. Stand out from the crowd with this lightweight knit project!

The Radian Yoke knit top features beautiful patterning around the neckline and shoulders as well as an open neck line and openings on the side. This is the perfect top for layering in the warm summer months.

The Heliosphere Tank is definitely next on my list! Which one are you adding to your list of projects? Take advantage of an incredible deal and get all these patterns in the knitscene Essential Knitted Tops for Summer Collection.

Enjoy some happy summer knitting with all of us here at Interweave! What do you look for in a summer top pattern? Let us know in the comments!
