Tell Me About the Pattern!
The 2026 Knitmas in July Knit-Along pattern is easy to memorize and hard to put down - perfect for summer knitting! The pattern uses variations of the Old Shale motif to create a rectangle shawl, knit on the bias with clean i-cord edges.
The shawl was inspired by the rolling waves where the sea meets the shore. In the pattern, the waves show up in the different rhythms of the Old Shale motif. In the kit, the sheen of the Super Silky contrast colors is reminiscent of sunlight glinting off the water as it rolls into the shore.
It’s designed to be:
✔️ Easy to memorize
✔️ Lightweight + portable
✔️ Perfect for summer stitching on the go
✔️ Suitable for most knitters, from adventurous beginner to advanced.
Whether you're knitting at the beach or backyard, this is your soothing summer knit for July.
📋 A tracking worksheet is included to help you keep track of your stitches.
📊 The pattern is both charted and written.
🎥 The pattern features links to video tutorials throughout.
