Copenhagen-based brand Deima knitwear specialises in handknit pieces that work just as well with swimwear as they do jeans. Knits are crocheted from softest cotton, meaning they’re lightweight and they travel well (a bonus is that crochet doesn’t crease either: hurrah!). We’re coveting the raglan sleeve crochet cardigan (pictured in the main image, above) to throw over a sundress, or our beachwear, when the temperature drops. www.deimaknitwear.com

While Sea’s crochet knit polo shirt may have an Uptown sensibility, we can picture it working just as well with loose drawstring shorts or paired with colour pop bikini bottoms. It’s knitted from mélange yarns, which grants it an eye-catching, colourful look. Crochet-knit sweater, Sea, €475; www.net-a-porter.com.

The It accessory of the summer has to be a crocheted beach bag. From Prada’s eye-catching totes in pretty pink, French blue and chartreuse yellow, to Ancient Greek’s oversized Market shopper, loved by tastemakers like Lucy Williams, they’re fun, functional and very easy on the eye. Market large crochet tote, €395; www.ancient-greek-sandals.com.

Put Brazil brand Farm Rio on your radar for joy-inducing crochet pieces that come in mood-boosting colours. We love the Rainbow Fun Crochet Top, €150, pictured above, for a perfect end-of-summer look.

Designed and ethically made in Uruguay, Tach’s summer knits went viral when Kendall Jenner wore the brand’s Loreza vest top in New York with nothing but a micro-tote and high-waisted trousers. Layer yours over a white tee for a homespun, retro feel. Loreza knit top, €137; www.tachclothing.com. Image: Instagram @lindseyholland_.
