While the calendar says spring is on its way, the weather tells a different story, depending on where you live. But whether your mornings are comfortable or still require several layers of clothes before heading out the door, this issue is packed with patterns that are perfect for a transitional period.

For chilly afternoons, grab the striking Phoenix Lace Spotlight Raglan that’s ideal for casual and fancier gatherings alike. Adorned with lace sleeves and a solid, stockinette body, you’ll discover a combination of warmth and elegance that’s tough to match. The beautiful Oceania Zig Zag sweater is another showstopper, with a graceful boat neck and relaxed dropped sleeves in comfortable cotton-blend yarn.
When the weather begins to warm, you’ll find yourself grabbing something light and airy, like the Carefree Lace Tank Dress (perfect for laying with a leather jacket and tights, if needed) and the delicate Lavender Lace Top which incorporates just the right amount of texture without sacrificing comfort.

For knitters up for more of a challenge, the Teal Treasure Stitch Sampler Shawl features six beautiful lace stitches, creating a piece that’s delicate and bold.
To round out the issue, we’ve included a curated selection of Editor’s Picks inspired by our “Solid Meets Lacy” theme. These reader-favorite patterns celebrate lace in all its forms —subtle accents, bold statements and everything in between.

Whether you’re casting on something light and airy or savoring the rhythm of lacework, we hope this issue encourages you to enjoy the contrast and knit into the season with confidence.

Happy knitting!
