Midsummer by Maaike van Geijn - Colorwork yarn bundle Midsummer, featured in The Art of the Sea by Laine Publishing, is a joyful top-down sweater designed by Maaike van Geijn. With its gentle fit and poetic colorwork, this pattern pays tribute to long summer days, blooming meadows, and the whimsical world of Tove Jansson. The yoke evokes a garland of wildflowers, inspired by the iconic image of Tove in her flower crown. Knit in La Bien Aimée Sport Nouveau in Avoine as the main color, the floral colorwork is brought to life with a delicate mix of stranded knitting and duplicate stitch in a vibrant yet soft palette. The effect is textured and romantic—like wearing a crown of midsummer blooms.
