Somewhere on the world it is summer and this collection of 8 designs by Rowan Designer Sarah Hatton is made for this season all of us love so much.
The collection is featuring Rowan Panama, a blend of cotton, linen and viscose. It has a fantastic drape and a brilliant sheen. It is a joy to knit with. A great yarn for summer season.
Simple Shapes Panama includes cardigans, shawls and relaxed sweaters. Simple yet on trend!

Knit this a relaxed top with raglan sleeves in the round from the bottom up, the sleeves are joined in to build a raglan yoke.
This is one of my favourite techniques, because the finishing process is much easier! No setting in sleeves and a minimum of sewing.
Wander is a great project for the knitter, who wants to practice knitting in the round.
Knit this short sleeve cardigan with a side shaping witch will produce a handkerchief hem. It has short set in sleeves and a one button fastening detail.

Knit this comfy T-shirt style top in your favourite colour with moss stitch edgings and short sleeves. A must have for the summer.
Knit this versatile sweater in stockinette stitch and a v-neck. You may flip it around and wear it as a round neck sweater!

Knit this loose fitting top with an open back in one piece! With stocking stitch detail and grown on sleeves it will fly of your needles!
Knit this shawl a must have accessory for more cloudy skies and cooler summer weather. It has an eye-catching lace pattern and is truly suitable for a knitter who wants to practice lace knitting.
Knit this cropped cardigan in stockinette stitch and an eyelet detail. It has a round neck, deep hem and three quarter set-in sleeves. A project for a beginner!
Knit this layering piece in stockinette stitch, moss stitch bands and slip stitch edgings. It has grown on sleeves for minimal finishing.
I have got a copy of this brochure to review from Rowan Yarns.

Love these sweaters!
A fantastic collection of pattern and I like knitting summer jumpers through the winter as it reminds me of what is soon to come.
Yes, this is a good idea. And as soon as the sun comes out and the temperatures are rising, you will be the first with a new summery sweater. Clever you!
I like all of them, but especially wander…. so easy to wear in summer!
So very nice shapes!
I´ll knit all of them if I win!

What a great collection/variety of beautiful knits! Thanks for the generous giveaway!
You are very welcome. Fingers crossed! 🙂
There’s summer most of the days where I live.
Lucky you!
I adore the sound of minimal sewing to join garments together. I can’t wait to try a pattern or two 😀
I completely understand your point of view. It is the same here. You love to knit the garment and eagerly wanted to wear it, but first you have to sew this whole thing together, which will last 2 days! Puh!
Beautiful patterns, I would love to win this too x
Summer is on it’s way here in Australia & I would love, love, love to knit some of these gorgeous designs.
