I promised this pattern back in Feb and it has been gathering dust in my Blogger Draft section since then, it is a veritable wasteland for ideas. Many go in never to see the light of day again!
Anyway this is a really cute pattern which I came up with all by myself.. admittedly by accident. When I was re-teaching myself knitting, I had a pattern which needed yarn overs, something I had never heard of before so had a practice on a bit of scrap wool and go carried away ended up with a curly bit of knitting, which I found once rearranging it a bit made a cute little rose!
They are really quick to knit, take very little wool and can be used as a 40's style brooch on a coat or bag, or as a a individual touch to a present when attached to the wrapping!

Rambling Rose Pattern
Ingredients:
You can use any size needles you like with any thickness of wool in any shade you like!
(For mine I used 4mm needles and DK Yarn)
Stitches
YO - Yarn over. Wrap yarn around the needle between knit stitches, to create a new stitch.
See Video at bottom.
Sl.1, K.1, Psso - Slip stitch on to right hand needle without knitting it, Knit the next stitch, then bring the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. This will create a decrease which leans to the left. See Video at bottom.
K2Tog - Knit two stitches together. See Video at bottom.
Curl up the knitting to form the rose shape (it should want to do it naturally) and fasten together.

ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, and I can see that you could add a few of them to a cushion, or to a head band, or a bag, or a dress or jumper. The possibilities are endless, really. Thanks for posting this lovely pattern.
