These colourful plants make super desk buddies or brighten up window sills, and the great news is they require no watering or feeding! A combination of stockinette, reverse stockinette, garter stitch, and a rib pattern are used for texture. If you want to make these as paper weights or bookends, add a weight (e.g. a bag of dried rice) inside the pot when making up.

Please note, for safety reasons the flower is not suitable for babies or younger children.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the plants are knitted in DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round).
