A knitting pattern for a very realistic hyacinth, including an optional bulb that is around 16 cm (6.3”) tall. It’s a really fun way to decorate your home for spring.

Included in the pattern

• pdf with altogether 12 pages
• very detailed step by step written instructions
• tons of pictures and helpful tips included.
• Video tutorials for all knitting techniques are available (on my blog)

Difficulty:
Intermediate

These hyacinths are knit in the round on 2.00 mm needles.
The many tiny little flowers can be a bit fiddly but otherwise, the pattern features no overly complicated stitches or repeats.

Yarn and yardage:
While you can more or less ignore my gauge, I really recommend picking a good lace yarn (scraps are enough). Knitting these hyacinths with bigger needles and a heavier yarn will result in a much bigger (and larger than life) flower.

Skills required:
knit, purl, SSK, k2tog, K3tog, KLL & KRL increases (video tutorials available; though M1L & M1R works passably as well)

Additional materials:

• toy stuffing thin copper or jewelry
• wire (to support the leaves)
