Summer Test-A-Long Pattern

This one is for the barefoot knitters—the ones who bring their needles to the porch swing, who count stitches between birdsong and breeze. The Summer Test-A-Long is a warm-weather rhythm: simple, soothing, and easy to carry with you from lake to lemon balm tea.

A chevron pattern you’ll memorize before the second repeat, this scarf makes space for soft conversation, road trip rows, and impromptu stitching circles. Worked in fingering or worsted weight yarns that echo the freshwater blues and dune grass greens of Northern Michigan, it’s a gentle practice in movement—up, down, back again.

No charts, no fuss—just the comfort of repetition and the joy of color play. Whether you’re testing out the pattern or testing the waters, this knit invites you to stay a while.
