Lace into Spring MKAL: Blocks 13 & 14
As our Lace into Spring KAL continues to grow, we are wandering out of the forest and into the sun-drenched landscape. Today, I’m thrilled to share a double release: Wheat Fields and Riverbank Breeze.
Riverbank Breeze captures the gentle, cascading movement of tall grasses swaying by the water, while Wheat Fields brings a swaying, structural texture that mimics the endless rows of a golden meadow. Both patterns use delicate eyelets to create an airy, light fabric that is as much a joy to knit as it is to look at. Whether you are adding these to your sampler blanket or using them for a seasonal scarf, these blocks bring the essence of a spring afternoon to your needles.

Checklist for Success
- Download the free guide “Chart Symbols and Abbreviations” from the hub page. It will be a useful companion throughout your knitting –> NEW version available!
- Use stitch markers to separate your 5-stitch garter borders from the 55-stitch lace space, and to mark each repetition of the pattern.
- Share your progress! Tag me @ohlalana.designs so I can see your squares coming to life!
General Instructions for Block 13: Wheat Fields
- Cast on sts
CO 65 sts with US 6 (4 mm) needles.
I always cast on and bind off stitches with larger needles than I use for the main work. This prevents my cast on and bind off rows from being too tight. - Garter stitch bottom border
With US 4 (3.5 mm) needles, knit 6 rows.
Slip first stitch on every row as if you were to knit it, but without knitting it (except on the first row). It will form a neat and sturdy border. - Main pattern with garter stitch side borders
Continue working the next 93 rows as follows:
5 garter sts, Wheat Fields pattern over 55 sts, 5 garter sts
Work the 16-row pattern 5 times complete, and then rows 1) to 13) again.
You can follow either the row-by-row written instructions or the chart for the ‘Wheat Fields’ lace pattern. - Garter stitch top border
Knit 6 rows.
- Bind off
Bind off all sts with a US 7 (4.5 mm) needle. Cut yarn and weave in ends.
- Blocking
Block your square to its final measures (approx. 10.5 to 11” / 27 to 28 cm).
Block 13: Wheat Fields
Wheat Fields pattern – Row-by-row instructions
- Over 14 sts and 16 rows. I added 13 more stitches to centre the motif and complete the internal space of 55 sts.

Remember to block your squares!
Lace only truly ‘blooms’ once it is off the needles. To get the crisp definition you see in the photos, I highly recommend wet blocking your squares.
