Over 50 Knit Lace Patterns For Any Occasion

Knit lace isn’t only for summer. That’s why we’ve gathered a fabulous selection of knit lace patterns. You choose what to make, when to wear it, or whether to give it away. Because the fun is in learning and making.

You don’t always need lighter-weight yarns, either. We’ve covered a wide range of items and yarn weights for your lace knitting pleasure. If you haven’t seen lacy blankets yet, you’re in for a treat!

In case you didn’t know, heavier yarns also make great lace garments and accessories. They end up more of a statement piece because the lace patterns are so much larger and more visible. You’ll welcome a bulky or worsted weight yarn knit into a lace scarf and piled up around your neck once the cooler weather moves in. They can be real showstoppers!

So check out this selection and make a list of your favorites. You can never have enough knitting time, so you may as well get started right away.

Here goes…

Knit Lace Patterns for Blankets and Throws

Let’s start with some rectangles. This simple shape makes lace patterns easy to follow since you work straight and have zero shaping.

Cowls and Scarves

These cowl and scarf knit lace patterns are also pretty straightforward. This time you can try working your knit lace straight in a scarf or branch and attempt a cowl where you get to knit lace in the round. You might find it a little different since working lace in the round means you’re always working on the Right Side.

Shawls and Wraps

Shawls are always a favorite with knitters. Choose a rectangular wrap for simplicity, or if you’re daring and want to try some lace shaping, go for a triangle. They’re not as hard as you might think.

Knit Lace Hat Patterns

Knit lace hat patterns do require a little more focus because unless they’re worked straight and gathered at the top, you’ll need to shape the crown. This adds a little more complexity to the pattern, but don’t worry – I know you can do it!
