Guild of Master Craftsman Publications Ltd Knitted Flowers

Show someone you care by giving them a bunch of flowers, but instead of the kind that will be past their best in a few days’ time, why not knit them instead?

With 30 beautiful blooms to choose from, including poppy, violet, gerbera, clematis and rose, there’s sure to be a favourite for everyone. There are plenty of other ways you can enjoy these adaptable makes, too: create a flower garland, or use them to embellish cushion covers, brooch backs, hair slides or key rings. These charming projects will bring a smile to all who receive them, and will give you hours of pleasure when knitting them. With detailed colour photographs of each flower and clear instructions, it’s never been easier to grab your knitting needles and turn your stash of yarn remnants into floral works of art.

Perfect for stash-busting your 4ply and 8ply remnants!
