A knitted sweater might not sound like something you’d wear or make as the weather warms up but, where we come from, spring is actually a time of year that can still get a little chilly every once in a while until summer properly settles in. That’s why we always make sure to keep a light sweater on hand each day, just in case the cool winds pick up! As the avid knitters we are, of course, we’d much rather make our own light spring sweaters than buy them. We really like treating ourselves to a new sweater each spring, so we’ve been keeping our eyes peeled lately for new patterns we haven’t tried before in order to pick which sweater we’ll make this season!
Just in case you’re as big a fan of the idea of knitting yourself a new light spring sweater for the new warmer season as we were, if not more, here are 15 patterns we’ve come across so far in our search.
1. Provence Wrap sweater
Have you always been a huge fan of pullovers but you’re also feeling like you’d really enjoy making something with a bit of interesting construction or shape to it lately? Well, particularly if you’re a big fan of V-neck style sweaters, we think you’ll get a real kick out of the way
2. Modern sweater
Were you actually quite intrigued indeed with the concept of making a wrap style or crossing sweater but you’re also the kind of person who much prefers cardigans and open sweaters rather than pullovers that go over your head? In that case, we think you might get along a little better with the way
3. Drop Stitch Cotton Easy Kimono sweater
If you’re going to make something lovely and light, would you rather make it a design that has a looser, more casual fabric to it so it even feels breezy while you’re wearing it? In that case, we have a feeling you’ll get a real kick out of the way
4. Sprout cardigan
Just in case we really caught your attention when we started talking about cardigans because you love an open sweater that you can just throw on over a cute dress, here’s a lovely design for those who love three quarter length sleeves in warm weather!
5. Drape Front cardigan
Maybe you really are intent on making a light spring cardigan of some kind but you’re also feeling like a flowing garment that you can really wrap yourself in when the breeze picks up might be your best bet? In that case, we would absolutely suggest taking a look at the way
6. Bolan t-shirt sweater
If you’ve never made yourself a sweater with short sleeves for the spring before then we’re sorry to tell you that you’ve been missing out on the perfect springtime garment! We’re huge fans of the way
7. Kinton sweater
Just in case you really loved the idea of making yourself a t-shirt sweater but you’re just not sure that the delicate, feminine looking lace panel in the previous idea is quite the style for you, despite the fact that you might enjoy some lace detail in a different spot, here’s an alternative pattern for your consideration!
8. Zircon sweater
Maybe you’re quite in love with the idea of adding unique stitching detail but you’re just not sure that the lace concepts you’ve seen are really selling you? Perhaps you’d prefer to make something with alternating stitch directions made with simple yarn overs and double yarn overs instead! We’re huge fans of the way
9. Social Network sweater
Were you actually quite enamoured indeed with the idea of making a sweater that has a looser, almost meshy fabric to it but you’re just not sure the shape of the holes you’ve seen in the garments we’ve shown you so far are quite the style you’d like to aim for? Maybe you’re quite an experienced knitter and you’d prefer to make something a little bit lace influence, without really getting into complicated lacy knitting for an entire garment’s body. In any case, we’d absolutely suggest taking a look at how

11. Lisette sweater
Just in case you were a huge fan of the concept of having a lace inspired detailing panel at the top of your sweater and a solid fabric at the bottom but you’ve always liked regular long sleeve sweaters over the t-shirt style, here’s a design that might give you what you want a little more closely! We’re in love with the way
12. Spring Pullover
Just in case you’re still thinking about how much you’d like to make a light, nearly-mesh sweater that’s clearly lace inspired but you’re not so sure you wan to include a more solid contrast panel like the idea we showed you previously features, here’s a similar pattern that skips that part and lets you continue your delicate stitching all the way up and down!
13. Scoop Neck sweater
Just in case you’re actually still feeling quite enamoured with the idea of knitting a light, spring appropriate t-shirt sweater but you can’t help wondering whether there’s a design out there that won’t bring the neckline quite so high up, since you prefer to leave your necklines more open, here’s a great alternative for your consideration! We’re completely enamoured with the way

Have you actually been scrolling through our list and thinking about how you might still need a jacket where you live until later in the year, but you’re still feeling intent on making it yourself rather than conceding to buying a light spring jacket from the store?
