Snowdrop
A knitting pattern for a very realistic snowdrop that is around 10 cm (4”) tall. It’s a really fun way to decorate your home for spring.
Included in the pattern
- pdf with altogether 10 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 snowdrops are mostly knit flat on 2.00mm double-pointed needles using a very simple form of double knitting and only a very small part is knit in the round. Puzzling the different parts together and picking up stitches for the petals will be a lovely challenge for intermediate knitters.
Wire and some creative blocking are used to get them in shape after closing one seam with a couple of stitches.
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 snowdrops 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, kfb, i-cords, and the KLL & KRL increases( though M1L & M1R works passably as well)
Step-by-step video tutorials are available for all techniques.
Additional materials:
- thin copper or jewelry wire (to support the leaves)
- a thicker wire for the stalk (or you twist 2/3 lengths of thin wire into one sturdier support)
- crochet hook (to pick up stitches)
