Making Lace With Only Knit Stitches?

Is it possible? Yes, it is on the loom and that's what I'm working on right now. I thought I'd give you a sneak peek at the lovely lace look designs that will be available in the coming weeks on our pattern sites. This has been a fun design project for the Spring 2018 collection.

UPDATE: These patterns are now published and available HERE. Soon they will be available on Etsy and Ravelry too!

Loom Knit Lace Shawl Using Knit Stitches Only!

Lace Shawl Pattern Preview

This type of lace has more in common with colorwork than regular lace knitting and believe it or not is done using only knit stitches. Yes, you heard that right, no moving of stitches or yarn overs needed. I've done all the planning for you with the 4 designs that will be offered in this collection. Each design will use the same stitch count so you will be able to choose your design and make it into a snood, shawl, cowl or scarf, giving you 16 options in one pattern set.

I hope you've enjoyed this preview and I can't wait to publish these patterns. They took months of planning, trial, and error and I'm excited to see the works in progress coming to completion. Happy Looming all!

UPDATE!! Here is the 4th lace look pattern that will be included in the collection...It's an interesting technique that looks best when backlit or against a contrasting color to best see the result.
