Spring Leaf Lace Wrap
Introducing our beautiful knit wrap pattern, perfect for those looking to add elegance to their spring wardrobe. This stunning wrap features two uniquely designed lace stitches: the center section showcases a charming floral motif reminiscent of blooming spring flowers, while the side stitch elegantly mimics the delicate shapes of spring leaves. With its name reflecting the beauty of nature, this wrap is sure to become a favorite accessory. Crafted using heavy fingering weight yarn and size #5 (U.S.) needles, this pattern allows for a quicker knitting experience compared to traditional “wedding ring” shawls.
The central floral design is further enhanced by a simple yet effective smocking stitch, adding texture and visual interest to your finished piece. The pattern includes detailed instructions for multiple smocking techniques, making it easy for knitters to choose their preferred method. Additionally, for those interested in adding a bit of flair, the pattern features optional instructions for a lovely crocheted edging, allowing you to personalize your wrap even more.
Skill Level: Intermediate – this pattern assumes a good working knowledge of basic knitting techniques such as knitting, purling, yarn overs (yo), and lace knitting.
You can use any heavy weight fingering or sport weight yarn that produces a gauge of 5 stitches per inch on size US #5 (3.75mm) needles. This makes it a versatile project that can accommodate various yarns while still achieving stunning lace results. Create a beautiful, lightweight shawl that captures the essence of spring, perfect for any occasion!
