Felted Flowers for Bags
These flowers measure about 5" across when finished,
depending on how far you felt them.
I am making more of the felted
bags for Christmas gifts--and was at my Mom's house when it came
time to do the flowers. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to bring a felted flower
pattern. So--I made one
up myself! You are welcome to make these flowers to adorn any project you
might make.
Supplies
100% wool yarn
Size 10 Needles
Darning Needle
Petals: Cast on 5 with 2 strands of yarn. 2. Inc 1 at 1st stitch, knit across 3. Repeat row 2 until there are 9 stitches on the needle. 4-8. Knit 9. Dec 1 at 1st stitch, knit across. 10. Repeat row 9 until there are 6 stitches on the needle. 11. Knit 2 tog. across, leaving 3 stitches. Run yarn through the three stitches, and tie off. ---------------------- Center: Cast on 12 with 2 strands of yarn. Knit each row until you have a square. Bind off, leaving a string about 8" long. Thread string through darning needle, and with a running stitch, go all the way around the square. Pull tight to form a 'ball'. I sewed the flower together before felting. When it is felted, lay flat and shape. Have fun! |
