As we talked about Jaanipäev yesterday, which revolves around a giant bonfire, I started investigating patterns inspired by the campfire.

Sitting outside at night, singing songs or roasting marshmallows, the campfire is a staple of summertime.

Not only is it a great time to connect with friends and family, you’ll probably need an extra layer to keep you warm.

Here are a few of our favorite patterns…
