You will require:
For the stem, use green DK yarn. For the petals, use red DK yarn (or any other colour…) 4mm Knitting Needles – I prefer to use double pointed ones for sewing.
Push the two petals together while they are on the needle and knit the six stitches as one row.
The cast-off portion of the inner petals should be sewn together at the bottom, leaving the tops open like petals.
Put the stem inside the outer petals. Add stitches. Secure the inner petals inside by sewing up the outer petals halfway up.
How are flowers knitted together in a row?
– Place yarn at the rear of the work and slide next 5 stitches to the right-hand needle, dropping superfluous wraps. (Slip yarn from the back of the work to the left-hand needle. Put the yarn at the rear of the work and slip it twice to the LH needle.
Knit 1, * (knit the next stitch by looping the yarn around the needle three times) 5 times, knit 1, repeat from * until end of row. Row 1 – Right side.
Row 2: Knit 1, * (knit the next stitch by encircling the yarn around the needle three times) five times, knit 1, then continue from * until the very end.
