![]() ![]() ![]() When the days get longer and warmer, you don’t have to put away your knitting. It’s just time to knit lighter, more summery projects like this sweet vintage-inspired lace belt! The belt is knitted in the round with an delicate lace pattern using a fine weight yarn. It’s an engaging project even though it’s small, and once you’re done, you don’t even have to wait until winter to wear it. It isn’t warm and heavy like other knitting projects can be, so you can wear your belt to add a touch of handmade to any outfit, any time. Supplies![]() ![]() ![]()
