Knitting for spring

Published on 5 March 2019 3 min read

Ahh spring: longer days, cherry blossom trees, new born lambs, and warming rays of sunshine. It’s impossible not to love spring. Warming up after the winter chill is a complete joy and so is our favourite pastime: knitting. We love knitting in every type of weather, and with spring comes an excuse for new knitting projects. Think, pretty pastel coloured knits, versatile shawls, and fun textural stitches. We’ve got you covered with a super selection of spring knitting patterns, and wonderful yarn for all the spring knits you could possibly want to make. Some people do spring cleaning, we encourage spring knitting! Although, come to think about it, perhaps it is time for a stash spring clean...

Spring jumper knitting patterns

Jumpers and cardigans are not just for winter and autumn. We are firm believers that a jumper, made of the right yarn, is the perfect garment to transition you between the seasons. Cover up as dusk settles on a Sunday spring walk, don a cosy knit as you gather friends around a bonfire, or forgo the coat as you step out of the house in your trusty knitted jumper, jeans and plimsolls combo.

We love a shawl, especially when the weather is a warming up and coats are no longer needed. The shawl is the essential cover up for a sunny day that still has a little winter chill in the air. Here are our favourite shawl knitting patterns that we’re loving for this spring.
