How to knit the Spring Lace stitch: for your next seasonal scarf

The Spring Lace stitch is a romantic pattern, ideal for knitting your next Autumn or Spring wrap/scarf.

It looks complicated, however, it’s a great opportunity to practice if you are just starting out knitting lace.

All the techniques involved are easy and explained step by step in the video tutorial.

My suggestion: Start with a small swatch, using thick needles and bulky yarn, to learn how it works. To knit your scarf, use smaller needles and a finer yarn, to get a better look.

On my swatch, I used fine yarn (number 2) and 3.5 mm / 4 US knitting needles. Remember: It’s always easier to knit lace with sharp tips needles 😉

Finally, don’t forget to block your piece before wearing it, so you get a nice definition of the stitches.

So…let’s knit together!

How to knit Spring Lace stitch for beginners So Woolly

Note before starting:

Please note that on row 5 there will be a double yarn over if you have more than one repeat.

And when you get to the double yarn over on row 6, you have to purl, and then, without dropping the stitch, you have to knit into the same stitch. Then you can drop the large yarn over.

This is the only way to keep those 2 stitches created by the double yarn over. Otherwise, you’d end up with 1 stitch less, and that would change the pattern.
