All-New Twenty to Make: Flowers to Knit cover

This collection of beautiful blooms will give you something colourful all year round: knit a spring bunch of daffodils, a summer bouquet of roses, a display of autumn-flowering anemones and a festive poinsettia.

There are 20 projects to choose from, including: an intricate peony; a colourful freesia; a delicate viola; the iconic English rose; and the distinctive Scottish thistle. The projects contain an appealing mix of yarns, colours, techniques and textures, and feature both flat and 3D styles. They can be used as brooches, keyrings, or to decorate purses and handbags. There is also a knitted vase to make for your bouquet.

This fantastic little hardback project book, in a handy pocket-size format is part of the All-New Twenty to Make series.

Nicely presented book. Flower projects are nice and varied. Looking forward to knitting many of these. I am new to knitting and think I will be able to manage many of these.

This book is great! Bright attractive photos of makes, clear instructions and a great book for a beginner like me!

I can’t quite believe that I can create such beautiful handmade flowers

-- Heather Gutowski * Amazon Customer Review *

This is a great book with a lovely variety of flowers to knit. The patterns are well written and easy to understand. Looking forward to trying them all!

This is a very well presented little book and a perfect addition to a craft library. It’s lovely to find a book on knitted flowers as the vast majority are crochet. With lots of illustrations on every page and clear easy written patterns, you really can’t go far wrong. Highly recommended if flower making is your thing.

Most knitters rely on a stash of leftover yarn to start and finish little projects; Ishii’s assumption that makers can rely on odds and ends to make these miniature flowers is spot-on. Using size 2 and 3 needles and fingering wool, she offers 20 realistic little blooms, all ready to pin or sew on a hat or scarf, blouse, or sweater. Ishii explains materials and techniques like I-cords and French knots up front. Each flower – from anemone and cosmos to tulip and violet – is then showcased separately, with colour photographs and good instructions. Here's how to quickly create fields of dreams.
