This is a great collection of knitted flowers. I have never attempted to knit flowers before. I have always crocheted them in the past, but this is a new and challenging project so I am ready to attempt a couple of the ones I see on here. They look very cute and easy.

I can not seem to get the page with the brown scarf with leaves and flowers to load. I guess it is the leaf and flower scarf and that link seems broken. Does anyone have the pattern or ? Thanks. I like the way it is so contrasting. I have never tried my hand at flowers. Thanks.

Well darn it! I guess I will give the others a go. I was thinking of adding these to some of the older baby blankets I have done that are sort of plain. Even to some of the hats would be something to put on and then remove or even change with just tacking them on. Sure with the other was available. It was really great. Thanks for checking.

There is a veritable garden of blooms found in these knitting patterns. I visualize a cluster on a sweet little hat or a few blossoms scattered across a little girl's sweater. They could be used on a headband too or even a decorative pillow.

Even though I have not knitted it yet, I think the design is beautiful but better used in a spa instead of doing dishes. Ann Eaton
