About this ebook

The 17 compact knitted flower projects featured in this guide are the perfect way to use up leftover bits of yarn, require a minimal investment of time, and are easy to take on the go. Geared toward intermediate-level knitters, each project includes a step-by-step, photographic tutorial that walks them through each stage, from how to make the petals to embellishments such as beads and embroidered accents. The flowers come in a vast array of designs—both realistic and stylized—that can be customized with yarn and fabric choices and can be used in countless ways, from brooches and barrettes to accents on shoes or even a whole knitted bouquet.
