The ear of wheat pattern: A touch of summer for your knitting projects
Kristin Joél describes her design as follows: "There are patterns that instantly evoke a feeling of summer – and the ear of wheat pattern is exactly one of them. For me, it's the epitome of pure summer: the meadows and fields where the grasses sway in the wind and the fields form a golden sea of ears of wheat. Perhaps it's also because I'm a true country girl who, now as a 'city dweller,' harbors a deep longing for rural life. I spend a lot of time in the Munich area, and the image of ripe ears of wheat always comes to mind there. I've brought this image to life on my knitting needles."
The ear of wheat pattern – simple, yet impressive
The beauty of the ear of wheat stitch is that it's incredibly easy to knit, yet looks stunning. The pattern's structure is reminiscent of ripe ears of wheat dancing in a summer breeze across a wide field – and you can bring that summery feeling into your knitting project.
Whether you use it as a simple trim on a sweater or as a striking detail on the back, the wheat ear pattern is a real eye-catcher and gives your knitted piece a special touch. It's versatile and easily adaptable to different designs. The combination of simplicity and elegance is what makes the pattern so popular.
The perfect yarn for the ear of wheat pattern
The yarn is also crucial for the perfect result. Let me introduce you to an ideal combination: ggh LINOVA, a cotton and linen yarn. This blend not only offers a pleasant feel but also provides the necessary lightness and structure that makes the wheat grain pattern stand out so well. Cotton ensures breathability and lightness, while linen gives the yarn exceptional strength and stabilizes the knitted piece.
A cotton-linen yarn is especially comfortable to wear on warm summer days and is perfect for the light, airy knitting projects we love in the summer. Whether it's a summery shawl, a light blouse, or a sweater – this yarn is a perfect match for any project you want to create using the wheat grain pattern.
✔ Cotton-linen blend – natural, breathable & comfortable on the skin

Conclusion: Knit your summer!
The wheat ear pattern is the perfect companion for your summer knitting projects. It reminds us of the meadows and fields that burst into bloom in summer and allows us to carry the lightness of the warm season in our knitted garments. Combined with the right cotton-linen yarn, you'll create not only a beautiful but also a functional garment that you'll love wearing on every summer outing.
