It’s summertime. Time for ease. Time to ease yourself into the sort of knitting that we adore: portable, easy to memorize, beautiful.

With tremendous joy, we welcome the arrival of FIeld Guide No. 7: Ease

It is the lightest, ease-iest Field Guide yet. These four designs from Julia Farwell-Clay will lower the temperature by ten degrees. You won’t find a sleeve or a buttonhole band in here—the most taxing part of this Field Guide is to decide which of these elegant, clever patterns to make first. See all the designs below, and join us for the pure pleasure of knitting during the sunny season.

These are the designs we’ll be making during the dog days—they’ll give you the sort of knitting fun that can be had on a patio, a porch, a plane, or a pool.
