Tell Me About the KAL Pattern!

Let’s talk about your perfect summer shawl project — the official 2025 Knitmas in July pattern!

This year’s design is a wide triangle shawl knit flat, top-down, and almost entirely in garter stitch. Translation? It’s portable, easy to memorize, and relaxing enough to stitch through road trip playlists, poolside chats, or whatever real life throws your way.

Add a few playful pops of texture and color, and you’ve got a project that’s simple to knit and stunning to wear. ✨

🧶 Made for Makers on the Move

I’ve spent most of the past eight years living life on the road, and it’s taught me a lot about what makes a great travel knit. Here’s what I look for in a summer project — and what I designed this shawl to deliver:

✔️ Simple, meditative stitches
✔️ Easy to memorize (yes, really)
✔️ Lightweight and compact (hello, over-the-arm knitting bag)
✔️ Just enough fun detail to keep it interesting

This one’s road trip–approved, beach-ready, and perfect for picking up and putting down a million times. (Life happens - let’s knit anyway.)

Did you say Knitmas Kits?!

Heck yes, I did! We’ve curated five beautiful kits featuring Emma's Yarn in Hella Hanks and Practically Perfect Smalls. All in all, each kit contains over 800 yards of squishy goodness and a killer summer swag bag custom made for Knitmas in July.😎

 

 

🦩 Technicolor Tropics: A postcard from paradise in yarn form. The main color in this kit was custom made for Knitmas in July, and I'm in love! A tropical tiki bar color explosion against a lightly speckled backdrop. Sip something fruity, grab your needles, and let the sun-drenched stitches transport you to your dream island escape.    

 

 

🌴 Palm Springs Pool Party: Turn up the glam and the neon—this kit’s got serious splash. Whether you’re lounging poolside or just pretending you are, these bright, joyful colors are here to make every stitch feel like a summer bash. Throw on your sunglasses, crank up the tunes, and brace yourself for the pure joy of these colors!

 

🛣️ Retro Roadtrip: Roll the windows down and crank the mixtape—this kit is pure summer wanderlust. Moody teals and earthy golden hues meet a splash of ‘70s copper for a perfectly groovy palette. All that’s missing is a roadside diner and a dashboard bobblehead. If you need me, I'll be cruising Route 66 in my 59' El Camino.   

 

 

 

🏜️ Desert Retreat: Are you ready to escape into the sagebrush and take refuge from the hustle of the day-to-day? Hazy desert sunsets are exactly what the doctor (aka, your friendly Nomadic Knitter) prescribed. Cactus blossoms and the smell of creosote after the rain will restore your peace and bring you back to center. 

 

⛵️ Great Lakes Getaway: Cool and calm with a splash of lakeside nostalgia. These easy-on-the-eyes blues and neutrals channel misty mornings, stone-skipping afternoons, and that jean jacket you've been rocking since 1989. It's chill, classic, and perfect for slow summer knitting. 

 

 

Each kit includes:

• One Hella Hank in the Main Color
• Three Practically Perfect Smalls in coordinating colors
• A custom Knitmas in July swag bag packed and ready to hit the road with you! Or the back yard. You do you.😘
• USPS Priority Shipping to the US / USPS First-Class Shipping to Canada  

The Knitmas in July Kit does not include the Knitmas in July pattern. Grab your copy of the 2025 pattern here.

 

If you'd like to shop your stash, use the kits for inspiration. If you love creating your own color palette, go for it! I love seeing the incredible combos you create.😍

If you're looking for more color inspiration, check out the Color Cubes and the Color Catalog by Sarah Renae Clark. Sometimes just flipping through these gorgeous cards fires up my knitting mojo.

 

What does every epic road trip require?
A mixtape! 🤓🎶

I maaaayyyy have gotten a little crazy with the playlists, but.... zero regrets!
