The Root Children is one of my all time favorite stories. I am currently working on giving them knitted flowers. Can’t wait to share them in the spring.

Praise for Root Children

I love when the first flowers of spring are appearing each year - its magic. So I made some spring flower children. Cute tiny flower girl with a green cloak. This one was finished very quickly in a few hours. (Omissi)

As always, Natasha has another fast and fun knit. The instructions were clear and helped every step of the way with lots of photos to guide. It only took a bit of tv watching to complete - so fast! (kandyknit)

Love these little dolls!! (thrsedge)

The root baby is so dang cute!! I tried to time myself on this one and I think it was a couple hours. These little dolls are addicting! (MinniStitcher)

Cute little root child! (bonewoman)

Happy Knitting!
