☀️ 5 Lace Shawl Patterns for Spring

The sun is shinning, birds are singing, and knitting needles are clacking with little lace projects galore.

While shawls are always a fun project, there is no better time to knit one up.

Whether you need a beach wrap this summer or just want a light project, here are some of our favorite lace shawl projects.

​Stormy Sky Shawl by Ksenia Naidyon

Why we love it: This asymmetric shawl alternates between garter stitch and lace openwork, making it easy to memorize and fun to knit!

​

​Costa Eyelet Shawl by Lion Brand Studio

Why we love it: Stockinette, garter stitch, and eyelets, oh my! If you want a lace shawl with a little more warmth to it, this is a great option.

​

​Sweetgum by Margaret Weinert-Lishner

Why we love it: This shawl is about as light as it gets. Simple and beautiful, it's the perfect accessory for the summertime. (Plus save $2 with this link)

​

​Maluhia by Julia-Maria Hegenbart

Why we love it: This shawl is knit in two directions. With multiple lace motifs throughout, this is a great project for more advanced knitters.

​

​Beachcomber Shawl by Chelsea Berkompas

Why we love it: We're absolutely in love with everything about this shawl. The colors, the texture, the construction. It's a beautiful project and you should make it right now!

📆 Daily Stitch

Double Herringbone Mesh Stitch

Every time I think of herringbone I think of a proper Englishman in a nice suit.

However, this pattern says sweater to me.

Maybe an Englishwoman's sweater with a big lace panel on the back.
