Tunisian knitted wildflowers pattern / How to do it?
Creating a Tunisian knitted wildflowers pattern involves using Tunisian crochet techniques to form the stitches that resemble wildflowers. Tunisian crochet is a combination of crochet and knitting, and it creates a fabric that is thicker and more textured than traditional crochet. Here’s a simple pattern to create Tunisian knitted wildflowers:
Materials:
- Tunisian crochet hook (size appropriate for your yarn)
- Worsted weight yarn in various colors (for flowers and leaves)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Stitches Used:
- Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS)
- Tunisian Purl Stitch (TPS)
- Tunisian Knit Stitch (TKS)
- Slip Stitch (Sl St)
Wildflower Pattern:
Flower:
- Center of the Flower:
- Chain 2.
- Round 1: Work 6 TSS in the second chain from the hook. Join with a Sl St to the first stitch to form a circle.
- Round 2: Work 2 TSS in each stitch around. Join with a Sl St. (12 stitches)
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
- Petals:
- Attach a new color to any stitch on the last round of the center.
- Petal 1: Ch 4, skip 1 stitch, Sl St in the next stitch. Repeat around.
- Petals 2-6: Attach yarn in the next stitch, repeat Petal 1 for the remaining stitches. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Leaf:
- Leaf Base:
- Chain 9.
- Row 1: Work 1 TSS in the second chain from the hook and each chain across. (8 stitches)
- Rows 2-4: Work 1 TSS in each stitch across. Do not turn at the end of the row; instead, work the next row as follows.
- Shaping the Leaf:
- Row 5: Work 2 TSS in the first stitch, 1 TSS in each of the next 6 stitches, 2 TSS in the last stitch. (10 stitches)
- Row 6: Work 2 TSS in the first stitch, 1 TSS in each of the next 8 stitches, 2 TSS in the last stitch. (12 stitches)
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
Assembly:
- Attach the flowers and leaves to your desired project using a yarn needle.
- You can create a variety of wildflower arrangements by adjusting the number and placement of the flowers and leaves.
