More Fun Knitting Patterns for Spring

April 13, 2015 by Sarah White

spring knitting projectsI hope that spring has started to make its appearance wherever you are if you happen to be in the Northern Hemisphere, and if it hasn’t maybe we can rush it along by knitting some great spring projects. We recently brought you a little collection of knits for spring; here are some others that have crossed my radar recently.

Need a perfect little sweater for spring? The Lacy Curved Cardigan from Tahki Stacy Charles is a great choice, with its curved shape and eyelet details. Or try the Georgina Dolman Top, which is a pullover with plenty of lace to make it breathable for spring and summer.

It may not seem like scarf weather, but a lacy scarf is a great alternative to a shawl when the weather starts getting a little warmer. The Sandpiper Mesh Scarf from Classic Elite Yarns (designed by Susan Mills) is a great project for the changing seasons. It’s worked in cotton yarn, so it’s not too warm, and the mesh stitch keeps it from being too heavy.

I love the slinky, stripey Shapely Striped Maxi Dress pattern from Lion Brand Yarn. Worked in Amazing yarn and designed by Vladimir Teriokhin, it’s a really interesting looking garment without you having to do a lot of work (well, it is a lot of knitting, but it’s easy knitting). And if color in spring is your thing, you should also check out the Fair Isle Pocketed Vest by the same designer, which uses eight colors to form its dramatic ethnic inspired colorwork.

The Flattering Shaded Tunic is a shorter tank style top, and it uses a different yarn, but it’s also easier to knit because the body isn’t shaped. It calls for a fun textured yarn that adds interest beyond its stripes.

If you’d like a different kind of colorful tank for spring, try the Lacy Tank from Tahki Stacy Charles. This is definitely a layering piece, but it’s really pretty, and the soft hues chosen for the sample are great for spring, but you’ll still want to wear it in summer, too.

And one for the younger crowd: my daughter has lately been asking me to knit her a skirt. It turns out she actually meant sew, because she wants a replica of a skirt I made a few years ago that she’s grown out of, but I’m still thinking about a knit skirt, and this Flirty Skirt from Red Heart is both cute and easy to knit.

Bucket Hat Knitting Patterns

As I was starting to write this post I thought that it was true that I’d never done a roundup of bucket hat knitting patterns before. But then I looked, and I actually did one last year (which you can find here) but there are plenty of cute bucket hats to do another post about, right? 

The one that made me want to write about this (again) is the Red Heart Knit Fanfare Bucket Hat from Yarnspirations. This cute striped hat can be worked in team colors, and while I might prefer a non-acrylic yarn for a summer hat, it would be fine when it’s not too hot outside (or try a cotton yarn instead). 

Claire Slade’s Sunlit Bucket Hat has an angled brim to help keep the sun out of your eyes. It’s worked from the bottom up using worsted weight cotton yarn, and comes in three sizes. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Get a little air flow in your bucket hat with the Shady Bucket Hat from Wool & Beyond. This one uses DK weight yarn and an eyelet pattern throughout the body to keep it cool. It comes in sizes ranging from newborn to adult large, and is worked in one piece from the top down. You can grab the pattern (in English or Swedish) on Ravelry. 

If you’re looking for a fun, floppy sun hat for kids or adults, this pattern from Muki Crafts is a little more slouchy than a traditional bucket hat but it’s super cute. It comes in baby, toddler and bigger kid sizes and adult. I uses worsted weight yarn and is worked from the bottom up. 

Another variation on the classic bucket is this one that’s more of a cloche style. Made by branda, it uses bulky yarn so it’s more of a winter bucket hat, but now’s a fine time to knit it if you live somewhere that’s warm right now (or even more so if you live somewhere that’s cold right now). 

Another one to get you ready for colder weather is Tirmety, a two-layer bucket hat from ViTalina Craft, which has a textured stitch pattern on one side and stockinette on the other. You can wear either side out or even make them different colors if you want. The pattern is sized for toddlers, kids and adults. 

And if you want to add some extra cuteness to your bucket hat, I love this (of course totally optional but also totally adorable) embroidered deatila on the New York Bucket Hat from Pauline Fanguin. It uses two strands of DK weight yarn held together for extra sturdiness, and uses changes in needle size to shape the hat. Of course you could also knit stripes or use different textures of yarn to change up the look. This pattern is made to fit your head and is available in French and English.
