Description

This collection of beautiful blooms will give you something colourful all year round: knit a spring bunch of daffodils, a summer bouquet of roses, a display of autumn-flowering anemones and a festive poinsettia.

There are 20 projects to choose from, including: an intricate peony; a colourful freesia; a delicate viola; the iconic English rose; and the distinctive Scotch thistle. The projects contain an appealing mix of yarns, colours, techniques and textures, and feature both flat and 3D styles. They can be used as brooches, keyrings, or to decorate purses and handbags. There is also a knitted vase to make for your bouquet.

This fantastic little hardback project book, in a handy pocket-size format is part of theAll-NewTwenty to Makeseries.

Nicely presented book. Flower projects are nice and varied. Looking forward to knitting many of these. I am new to knitting and think I will be able to manage many of these.

This is a great book with a lovely variety of flowers to knit. The patterns are well written and easy to understand. Looking forward to trying them all!

This is a very well presented little book and a perfect addition to a craft library. Its lovely to find a book on knitted flowers as the vast majority are crochet. With lots of illustrations on every page and clear easy written patterns, you really cant go far wrong. Highly recommended if flower making is your thing.
