This Solstice Spencer is especially designed for season transitions. When the weather starts changing and it confuses you what to wear, this spencer will help you out. It is perfect for layering over tops and blouses or even dresses. Perfect to cosy up in, without getting too hot.

The spencer is slightly cropped to accentuate your waistline and to give a flattering effect.

The Solstice Spencer has a romantic outlook due to a simple, yet beautiful lace stitch. This stitch is explained in writing and in a chart. You can follow any of these instructions, whichever you prefer to knit with. After a few rows the pattern is easy to remember by heart.

If your size is not in my size range, please feel free to contact me. I strive to be as size inclusive as I can. If your size is missing from the size range, this might mean I haven’t found test knitters for all the sizes. Please let me know if you would be willing to test knit a new size for me.
