Candy stripes and summer colour combine to create a summery cotton top that’s ideal for a leisurely stroll along the promenade, or just to make every day feel like a holiday!

Summer cotton handknits are always a joy to knit and to wear, and this beautiful pattern (Jocelynn, designed by Marie Wallin) is the perfect choice. With multiple width stripes, cute buttons, and tiny cap sleeves, our free Rowan knitting pattern is such a summer treat.

Our model is knitted in Rowan Milk Cotton, but you can substitute any standard Rowan DK yarn. For summer you might prefer Rowan Organic Cotton DK, Lenpur™ Linen, Revive or Pima Cotton. Check the new look Knit Rowan site for a full list of alternatives.
