Looking for that perfect summer knit – something to take with you on your travels or something you can work on even in hot weather? Something you can actually use during summer? Barefoot fits the bill perfectly. Born out of love for simple summer knits, it lets you get lost in the rhythm of the stitches but is still engaging and beautiful to knit.
