How to Make Flowers from I-cord or French Knitting

This post has been keyworded under:
Forget-me-not brooch

These flowers are so simple to make and look as fresh as spring!

Basic Flower 

I knitted a length of i-cord 25cm (10") long, you could make it from French knitting. From this I formed a five looped petal flower then attached a button for the centre, piece of cake!

 

Flower Hair Band

I knitted a length of i-cord, long enough to cover the hair band. When I had slipped the tube of i-cord over the hair band I attached the knitted flower to it. For alternative designs have a look at Free Pattern to Make a Knitted Hair Band or Fascinator 

 

The Forget-me-not Brooch

I knitted two stems from i-cord, one slightly longer than the other, then attached these to the back of the flowers. I knotted the stems and arranged the flowers. You could either attach the blooms directly to a garment or back the flowers with felt and sew on a pin. Have a go and make a bunch!

These are so cute! I just got a little french knitting bee and was making a tube or cord , and had no idea what to do with it until I saw your post. Thank you!unekaz

Those are just precious.
We seem to be lacking young girls in the family these days
but I'm filing this idea away until a sweet little girl arrives.

Heck, I might just make one for me!

How very pretty Anjie - roll on spring time. :)
