Click for more details. After musing about how I can incorporate Autumn into my knitting, I thought “why not just knit a leaf”. So here is a very quick pattern for a little Liquidambar leaf. To make a little Liquidambar leaf that you can use on a hair clip you will need a small amount of 8ply/DK weight wool. I have used Jo Sharp Luxury 8ply Pure Wool in colours Ruby and Beetle. Tools Yarn – 8ply/DK weight wool with a slightly fuzzy texture (not suitable for really smooth yarns). 2.75mm needles. Tapestry needle for sewing up. 4mm crochet hook for making stem. Bobby-pin or spring clip. Abbreviations kfb - knit into the front of a stitch as normal and then into the back of the same stitch. WT - wrap and turn. Now turn your entire work around – you have finished working the row and are now ready to progress to the next row in the pattern.

Method. Knot Garden: Forget-me-not. This is how I made the tiny blue flowers on my Posy Cushion.

Knot Garden: Forget-me-not

Knitted on 2 needles. Abbreviations: K = Knit St(s) = Stitch(es) tbl = through back of loop RS = right side Tension (gauge) isn't important but if you use needles one or two sizes smaller than recommended for the yarn, you will get a more closely knitted flower. Using blue, make slip knot on left hand needle and cast on 2 more sts (3 sts in total, RS facing). Cast off 2, knitting the last st tbl (1 petal made). *Slip the remaining stitch back onto the left hand needle, keeping the RS of knitting facing you. Knitted Dahlia Flower (Free Pattern) Flutterby Patch: Knitted daffodil.

It's a little bit early to be doing a post for Easter but not too early to be thinking about knitting a little something for the Easter table.

Flutterby Patch: Knitted daffodil

So how about a bright yellow daffodil to decorate an egg cosy? I created this pattern several years ago and have used it endlessly ever since (with a few variations along the way). The pattern is very easy to follow (I don't do difficult). Please note I have written the instructions in a way that 'beginners' should be able to follow. If you are an experienced knitter please don't be put off by the rather lengthy instructions.

You will need a small amount of yellow DK yarn, pairs of 3.25 mm and 4 mm needles (US 3 and 6) and a couple of hours to spare. To create a little wavy edge to the trumpet you now need to do a picot edge as follows. Using a separate length of yarn (not the one threaded through the stitches) stitch together the two short edges of the daffodil trumpet and secure.
