Knitting Pattern – A Dozen Fun Flowers to Knit

April 15, 2014 by Sarah White 2 Comments

To continue the theme of flowers this week, I thought it would be fun to share some more knitting patterns so you can knit your own, whether you make a bouquet of knit flowers to display or a single flower to put on a headband or your coffee cozy.

The Pinwheel Flowers by Frankie Brown might not look quite like any flowers from nature but they are sure to bring a smile to your face. These would be great as decor for a child’s party, among other things.

Paulette Lane’s Simple Knitted Flowers are, in fact, just that, and they’re a great way to use up a little bit of leftover stash. Wouldn’t they be cute decorating gifts?

The Knitted Flower from Miss Crafty Fingers was originally knit as a brooch, but there could be lots of ways to use it. I think it would be great as a hair tie, too; check out Katherine Vaughn’s Flower Hair Elastic for another idea. And speaking of hair ties, this Knit Flower from Sue W. Thompson is great for a baby’s headband or to decorate a hat (Libby Johnson has another great flower headband for kids, by the way). And further speaking of babies, don’t miss the lovely Pacifier Clip from Susan B. Anderson, which would be great for other purposes as well.

Christine Grant’s Poppy Buttonhole Accessory is perfect for days of remembrance, or just knit it for display. The Flower Power Posy from The Handmade Homemaker is another cute one, and it’s mostly just casting on, binding off and finishing so you can make a bunch with whatever yarn you have in no time. Also check out the Flower – Bloem pattern from Saartje de Bruijn and Flowers for Mam from Andrew Craig Williams for more floral inspiration.

Are you ready to knit some flowers? I’d love to hear how it goes!

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
