One of my best knitting friends is a designer who has a completely different - gorgeous - knitting and design style (susstrickart). She creates exquisitely tailored garments with beautiful details, while I prefer bold geometric patterns in smaller pieces or accessories.. She recently said that it would be funny idea to cooperate - in that I would do some sort of flower motif that would be placed in the context of a well-finished garment … and that got me thinking. So, I started to try out different ideas for square shaped flower motifs and finally settled on this one.

Since this is a lovely little project on its own, I decided to publish this flower motif (“stand alone”) as a pattern.

These motifs can be used as coasters - or (similar to crocheted granny squares) be embedded in bigger projects.

The pattern PDF contains:

• written row-by-row instructions for knitting this hat – including eight photos of the different stages and explanations on
• a pattern chart
• short photo tutorials for the following techniques (needed to knit these pieces): provisional CO with a crochet hook and how to undo it, grafting in garter stitch, short rows with wrap and turn and picking up the wraps , intarsia knitting, and weaving in yarn while carrying it (backwards and forwards)

I knitted these pieces in two yarn weights:

• In fingering weight yarn the finished pieces measured 9.5 cm (edge length). The gauge (in unstretched garter stitch: 5 sts gave 2 cm in length and 5 ridges gave 2 cm in height.
• Knitted in Aran weight yarn the pieces measured about 13 cm edge length. Here 11 sts gave 5 cm in width and 11 ridges 5 cm in height.

The last photo shows these the sizes and also the WS of the piece.
