Textural, sophisticated knits are all over ravelry, the runways, and your favorite knitting magazines this season. Whether it's delightfully decadent lace patterns that mimic the floral bloom of Spring, subtle or more striking striping and colorblocks that allow for exploration and experimentation (like the Sophia Striped Top, seen above right), or simple garter or stockinette worked in a highly-textural yarn that does all the heavy lifting for you, complexity is key!
But this isn't your head-scratching, forehead-smacking, convoluted-for-the sake-of-being-complicated knitting. This Spring/Summer season is all about tried and true silhouettes--boatneck tops, loose-fitting, drapey pullovers, and A-line tees done up in exciting new yarns and fun stitch patterns. Put away your thinking caps and hold your needles at the ready--it's time for warm weather knitting that will never go out of style!
