It’s been five years since I started publishing my designs* and the first one was one of my most popular patterns, Enchanted Summer Shorties! So in celebration of 5 years of ESS, here’s “Summer Vibes” Shorties. Inspired by the original but it’s own simple yet interesting design. I love how this one works up in self striping yarn!

  • Enchanted Summer Shorties was published July 2018
