This knitted flower pattern is a great little shape you can use on all kinds of projects. I hope you enjoy this VERY easy project. Check out the video then download the free PDF below!

I call this knitted flower a rose in the video. But it would work just as well as a peony, a ranunculus, or even a camellia. It uses a simple, single rolled knitted piece to make its classic flower shape and can be used for all kinds of projects. Here is one I attached, along with some knitted leaves, to a pin to make a brooch.

And being only 6 rows long, the flower will knit up in about 20 minutes!

Knitted Flower – The Pattern

Download the PDF here: Knitted Flower Pattern

Yarn: Small amount 8ply acrylic yarn (I used TRS Knit & Purl in the video)

Needles: 4mm straight needles

Tension: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10cm²

Notions: Craft scissors, tapestry needle.

Pattern

Cast on 10 sts, leaving a 30cm tail.

Row 1: Increase into every stitch. 20 sts.

Rows 2 and 4: P all sts.

Row 3: Increase into every stitch. 40 sts.

Row 5: Increase into every stitch. 80 sts.

Row 6: P all sts.

Cast off all sts, leaving a 30cm tail.

Roll the piece into the shape of a rose, with the tail from the cast off edge at the back of the rose.

Thread the cast on tail onto a tapestry needle. Work a whip stitch up the row edge, finishing at the cast off edge. Pass this tail through the centre of the rose from the front to the back. Weave in this end, but if you are planning to attach this rose to something else, do not cut the tail, as the tail can be used to attach the rose to the other object.

Thread the cast off tail onto a tapestry needle. Work a whip stitch down the row edges on the back of the rose to secure the shape of the rose, and weave in end. Again, this tail can be used to attach the rose to something else.
