Knit your favorite flower and more, with 20 gorgeous projects to choose from.
This collection of beautiful blooms will give you something colorful all year round. Why not knit a bunch of flowers for every season, starting with a bouquet of poinsettia for Christmas?
There are 20 projects to choose from including: an intricate peony; a colorful freesia; a delicate viola; the iconic English rose; and the distinctive Scotch thistle.
The mix of shapes and yarns brings a bright splash of colour and the use of different textures and techniques to create both flat and 3D flowers is very appealing.
Make wonderfully tactile gifts featuring a whole range of flora, or just pick and choose your favorites.
Most knitters rely on a stash of leftover yarn to start and finish little projects; Ishii’s assumptionthat makers can rely on odds and ends to make these miniature flowers is spot-on. Using size 2and 3 needles and fingering wool, she offers 20 realistic little blooms, all ready to pin or sew on ahat or scarf, blouse, or sweater. Ishii explains materials and techniques like I-cords and Frenchknots up front. Each flower—from anemone and cosmos to tulip and violet—is then showcasedseparately, with color photographs and good instructions. Here's how to quickly create fields ofdreams. — Barbara Jacobs, BOOKLIST 10/10/22
