Knit a Bouquet of Flowers

April 16, 2024 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

If you’re feeling impatient for real flowers to bloom, you can always knit your own! This collection of flower knitting patterns will bring color into your home that never fades. They make great gifts or decorations for gift bags, too.

This sweet little daisy from Linda Dawkins is easy to knit in DK weight yarn, and you could make them in lots of different colors to be different kinds of flowers if you want. The pattern is on Ravelry, and she also has an ebook of knit flowers if you’re looking for a bunch of different designs.

Daffodils are so cheerful, and this pattern from Love Fibres on Etsy shows you how to make a bunch that will look great throughout the season. These are made with DK weight yarn and you can use wire in the stem so they will stand up, or make a bloom and use it as a brooch.

Loani Prior has a really pretty rose knitting pattern that’s worked in stockinette in individual petals so you can make each rose look different. I love the idea of making a bouquet for a wedding or other special event.

Cathy Ren’s calla lily pattern, available on Ravelry, would be another fun one to stitch into a bouquet. Use DK or light worsted weight yarn and a chopstick or skewer in the stem.

A simple sunflower is one of the happiest flowers around, and you can stitch one for your desk or anywhere else that needs a little brightening up with this pattern from Liana OCF. It also calls for DK weight yarn and uses wooden skewers to hold it upright.

If you want to make a flower to wear as a pin or decorate a knitting project, this one from Little Pretty Boutiqu is a nice one. Use different yarn weights to make different sizes and decorate all sorts of projects, gifts or make a garland.

You can also knit a whole pot of flowers that will never wilt. Check out this pattern from iKnit Designs, which can use up all your leftover DK weight yarn as you stitch flowers of different colors.

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?
