So, is lace knitting hard/difficult? Lace knitting is actually very easy. If you learned to knit by yourself then you can absolutely learn lace knitting by yourself.

Here is the step by step for you:

1. Find an easier lace scarf pattern and print it (or write it out).
2. Read it through and make sure you understand everything. If you find a technique you don’t know how to do, then “google” it. There’s plenty of tutorials you can go over.
3. Find tools and get on with it. I recommend a simple sock yarn or something in that weight for your first lace project. Don’t use anything thinner for now.

Few extra pointers:

• use a lifeline – it will save you a lot of time and from a lot of tears; (more about lifelines here)
• be patient with yourself – practice makes perfect;
• block your work after you’re finished;
