Our Summer Read and Knit Kit has everything you need to cool off and relax! Take this fun, easy kit with you to the back porch, the beach, the lake, the campsite, our your comfy couch. It's an easy project that includes new romance novel Happy Place by Emily Henry, the perfect beach read!
The kit makes a sweet little "Dumpling Bag," perfect for holding future sock knitting WIPs, embroidery projects, or your sunglasses and keys for a walk in the park or a lunch date with a friend.
Sample shown in white with wool thread colors 315 and 407.
Kit includes:
- 2 skeins of Green Mountain Spinnery Cotton Comfort
- 2 spools of Rustic Wool Thread, 87 yards each (colors may vary, but we will be sure to pick out options that coordinate beautifully with your yarn color choice!)
- 4" wood embroidery hoop
- 2 embroidery stick and stitch stickers from Urbann Nest

- Hardcover edition of Happy Place - this novel by New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry tells the story of a couple who broke up, but pretend to be together one last time for their annual friends' summer holiday in Maine. But surrounded by salt breezes, sunscreen, lobster, a charming cottage, and the people who know them best, can they keep up the pretense? Do they even want to?
What you'll need:
- Free Pattern for Dumpling Bag by Jeannie Lee for Purl Soho, available on Ravelry
- Knitting needles
- Your favorite reading and knitting spots!
About the project:
- This Dumpling bag knits up quickly with a fun, simple design in DK weight yarn.
- The pattern calls for one skein of yarn, but we were playing some yarn chicken with our sample, so we've included a second skein to ensure you have enough (and if you do, you can make a larger bag, or one for a friend!)
- Embroider your finished (washed, blocked and dried) bag with these beautiful threads and easy stickers. Just remove the sticker backings and attach them to your knit.
- Use the small embroidery hoop to hold your knit in place while you work. Embroider on top of the sticker (our sample embroidered two strands of the wool threads together), then gently rinse off in cool water. The wool threads are colorfast.
