Free Plus-Size Summery Patterns to Knit and Crochet

June20

Who doesn’t need a lightweight summer sweater? No need to put down your needles and hooks when the weather gets steamy. These breezy patterns make me wish I were at the beach!

Ok, so if you’re a working mother of a toddler like me, now’s probably the time to start on Christmas presents that may or may not actually become finished objects. Summer sweaters are not likely to knit themselves before it’s Fall all over again.

But if you have flying fingers, need a sweater and have the time, here’s a list of freebies that I dug up so you don’t have to waste that precious time clicking all over the web.

These all go up to at least a 1x, most to 3x.

Knit Patterns

  1. Shetland Shorty - A Lace Wrap/Bolero.
  2. Thira - A knit halter.
  3. Inverness - 3/4 sleeve reverse stockinette sweater with stripes and seed stitch ribs.
  4. Gigi - Short sleeve kimono cardigan.
