No Water No Worries African Violets
Very Easy and quick to knit up, in the round, with worsted weight yarn. Switch to dk/sport yarn and smaller needles for an even smaller and more delicate look.
Some crochet knowledge needed - the florets (flowers) are crocheted, but you can substitute knitted ones if you’d prefer.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
I wanted to make an African Violet for my sister for Mother’s Day, remembering how much I used to enjoy growing them. No worries about watering or humidity or feeding or how much light it gets. Yay!
My dear friend, who also loves to knit (check out her creations here www.chiwaluv.blogspot.com), liked my wee plant so much that she wanted to make one of her own, so I wrote up this pattern for her, while I still remembered what I did and while I still had the plant, so I could count rounds and stitches.
And as a nice Mother’s Day surprise, thanks to my friend, you all get to have the pattern too - so you can all have African Violets on your windowsills, or wherever you’d like to have them! :o)
