The 2024 Knitmas in July pattern is an asymmetrical triangle shawl designed to be the perfect summer knit!

It is suitable for most knitters, from adventurous beginners to advanced.

When it comes to summer knitting, I have a pretty specific list of pattern requirements. It must be portable, light, and simple enough to work on at family get-togethers, beach days, and road trips. With that in mind, I made sure the Knitmas in July KAL pattern is everything I look for in a summer knit:

• Simple Stitches
• Easy to memorize
• Portable
• Just the right amount of pizazz to make it a stunner and keep you knitting row after row

I hope you’ll join us in our Ravelry group Nomadic Knits or our Facebook group as we knit together throughout the month of July!
