Free Patterns for Spring Knits

As the weather starts warming up, spring knit wear has been on my mind. While there is still some cool weather left, now is the perfect time to start making your new favorite pair of springtime fingerless gloves, lightweight knit hats, cozy cowls and shrugs.

Today I thought I’d share some of my favorite patterns for spring and a few are top on my to-do list. I’d love to knit some new fingerless gloves for spring but I think I’m going to knit a quick “Wurm” hat first!

In many parts of the world, including the Pacific NW where I am, we are right in the middle of ski season! Our winter hasn’t been too harsh so far but  no doubt there is more on the way! ;)
