Beach Sun Landscape Square
Bring the calm of a summer shoreline to your knitting with this Beach Landscape Square Knitting Pattern! Featuring golden sand, soft waves, and a bright yellow sun rising over the sea, this cheerful design captures the warmth and serenity of a day at the beach. Worked flat with a tidy garter stitch border framing a smooth stockinette center, this square is perfect for coastal-themed pillows, sunny baby blankets, summery tote bags, decorative wall panel or as a cute detail on a sweater.
The pattern includes both a clear colorwork chart and full row-by-row written instructions. You can use intarsia or duplicate stitch to complete your project — or even adapt it for machine knitting. Let this relaxing beach scene add a splash of sunshine to your handmade collection!
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
The final size of the project will depend on the yarn and needle size you choose. Here are examples for three different yarn weights:
Sport weight (5 ply) with 3.5 mm (US 4) needles:
37 × 37 cm (15″ × 15″) — approx. 120 g
DK (8 ply) or worsted weight (8 ply) with 3.75 mm - 4 mm (US 5-7) needles (sample shown): 46 × 46 cm (18″ × 18″) — approx. 140–180 g
Aran weight (10 ply) with 5.5 mm (US 9) needles:
52 × 52 cm (20″ × 20″) — approx. 250 g
MATERIALS NEEDED
I used DK weight (8 ply) yarn — 140 g of YarnArt Creative, 100% cotton, 50 g ≈ 85 m / 1.8 oz ≈ 93 yds
Knitting needles: 3.75 mm (US 5)
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
If you want to match the sample size, use DK yarn with a similar gauge. However, you’re free to use any yarn you like! This project is highly adaptable — just choose suitable needles for your yarn and enjoy the process.
