Summer of Basics: Pattern Ideas

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on June 7, 2017October 8, 2020

While perusing the back catalog of Kelbourne Woolens patterns when deciding what to make for the Summer of Basics, I was reminded that we have a hefty collection of designs that would make great wardrobe staples. If you’re as excited about the Summer of Basics as we are, but (like me) have changed your mind more than once about which garment to make, below are some options from Kelbourne Woolens featuring The Fibre Co. yarns that would make great basics in any wardrobe!

(MOSTLY) STOCKINETTE PULLOVERS

Gull Island / Carrowkeel  / Bronwen / Echo Lake

(MOSTLY) STOCKINETTE CARDIGANS

 Fable / Cadillac Mountain / Vera / Killybegs

TEXTURE

Teegan / Yale Harbor / Seascale / Burtonport

CABLES

Phillipa / Gillam / Keswick /  Finn Valley

COLORWORK

Wild Atlantic Way / Clawthorpe / St. Brendan / Brackenber

I believe I have (finally) settled on my three basics for the summer, and two of them will be sweaters for me, which I am incredibly excited about. Are you joining in on the Summer of Basics? What are you most excited about making?

    I love Seascale! I have been looking for a great gansey to knit. I already have my 3 basics picked out but I will still be adding this to my Ravelry queue. Thanks!
