  8. I just Love them. I make knitted sandals for toddlers, and these look just beautiful on them with a button.
    I found a new obsession!!! Your page. Now I have to run, my cat is playing with my ball of yarn I just wound. LOL

  10. Hi, kind of a newbie. Does this (2sts on right hand needle) indicate just slipping two stitches over?

  12. No dumb questions here. I wondered the same thing.
    I knitted one on a US3 with DK and it Came out about an inch in diameter. Very cute but would require a bead, or wee tiny button for the center. Very sweet and I'll make more this size, but it is tiny so will also try a little larger needle and see what happens with that.

    1. I read on Ravelry you use whatever needle size you like and you get the corresponding size flower. I need tiny ones so i will be using a size 1. For bracelets im knitting for Christmas. They sure are pretty little flowers arent they?

    2. Use size needle suggested by the yarn wrapper. I have made these using 35 stitches to begin, and worsted weight yarn. Literally made hundreds to put on an artificial tree, brought Spring inside.

  13. Beautiful little flower. How can I make it larger but in the same yarn as the hat I want to apply it to. The hat is made out of finger weight yarn.

    Thank you.

  17. I’m a very amateur knitter and did a search for a daisy. This came up. Just want to say thank you for sharing it. I used big needles and got a large flower and put a button in the centre. It looks really nice.

    Thank you

  26. Very easy, and for those who are visual, make sure you look at the picture - I'm pretty experienced but any flowers patterns were very intricate and that is not strictly necessary. Thanks a bunch for this, I've made a flower for my daughter's hat and just sewed it on in the middle (it's a multi color yarn so it doesn't need anything in the middle).
