Island Vibes: Summer Knits by Sasha Hyre features nine patterns for summer knits. The versatile capsule collection is designed with beachwear in mind.
This book includes patterns for three tops, a cardigan, a shawl, a dress, a skirt, a sarong and a bag. Each piece is designed to be worn independently but can also be combined for stylish summer looks. This versatile capsule collection is designed mostly with linen, silk and cotton yarns that are perfect for warm weather. Decorative elements and techniques such as fringes, modular knitting and intarsia, are used in a modern and vibrant way.
