Looking for fresh spring lace knitting patterns? These 5 free patterns are featured on the Free Knitting Patterns Page, and they’re as breezy and beautiful as the season!
As soon as the first signs of spring show up—think birds chirping, tulips blooming, and the sudden urge to clean everything—I find myself reaching for light yarns and dreaming up new spring lace knitting patterns. This year, I had so much fun creating a whole Deborah-themed set that’s light, lacy, and totally wearable (or giftable!). From lacy tees to breathable socks, these patterns bring just the right mix of texture and airiness for warmer weather.
Let’s start with the tees!
The Deborah Tee Trio: Baby, Youth, and Adult
The spring lace knitting patterns for the Deborah Tees are designed with a standout feature: a delicate eyelet lace panel running right down the back. I love how this little detail adds so much interest without making the tee too open or fussy to wear. It’s just enough lace to keep things fun and springy.
Each size—Baby Deborah Tee, Youth Deborah Tee, and Adult Deborah Tee—uses KnitPicks Samia yarn (affiliate link), which is lightweight, breathable, and has just a touch of sheen that really lets the lace shine. Plus, it feels amazing on the needles and even better on your shoulders.
These spring lace knitting patterns are easy to knit and even easier to wear. Whether you’re dressing your toddler in something sweet for church, knitting up a big sister version for your elementary kiddo, or treating yourself to a stylish tee, you’ll love how quick and satisfying these knits are.
Lace Socks That Are Light but Cozy
Now let’s talk socks. The Deborah Socks and Deborah Ankle Socks are two spring lace knitting patterns that I just can’t get enough of.
The Deborah Ankle Socks are top-down with a classic heel flap and a sweet little tab cuff. I used KnitPicks Muse (affiliate link) for these, which is wonderfully soft and comes in rich solids that show off the lace beautifully. The eyelet lace runs up the front of the socks, giving them a sweet, feminine look without being too frilly. They’re perfect for pairing with sneakers or even just padding around the house.
Then there are the Deborah Socks, which are full-length and covered in a dreamy all-over eyelet lace pattern. These are knit in KnitPicks Stroll (affiliate link)—a tried-and-true sock yarn that holds up beautifully and feels soft underfoot. They’re the kind of socks that feel just a little bit fancy every time you slip them on.
