But it is also by far the cosiest of the free knitted flower patterns we are showcasing, because it comes as part of an afghan blanket! Variations can be created by varying the way one side of the strips or the width of the strips is knitted up. Instead of knitting through the remaining loops on the needle, insert the threaded needle through each of the loops to secure them. We'd love to showcase this sunflower as a big embellishment on a child's tee shirt – or even on an adult tee shirt for us to wear.With the slipknot on your right hand needle, loop the yarn over the left hand needle and insert the needle through the loop. The finished flowers measure approximately 13 x 13cms and look simply stunning as hair accessories, corsages or used to decorate bags, cushions and hats. If you plan on attaching it to another project, keep the yarn tail long so you can sew it onto the other fabric. We love the texture on the central stamen and clever use of garter stitch curl to shape the flowers.
