Nicely presented book. Flower projects are nice and varied. Looking forward to knitting many of these. I am new to knitting and think I will be able to manage many of these.

I can't quite believe that I can create such beautiful handmade flowers

This is a great book with a lovely variety of flowers to knit. The patterns are well written and easy to understand. Looking forward to trying them all!

This is a very well presented little book and a perfect addition to a craft library. It's lovely to find a book on knitted flowers as the vast majority are crochet. With lots of illustrations on every page and clear easy written patterns, you really can't go far wrong. Highly recommended if flower making is your thing.

Most knitters rely on a stash of leftover yarn to start and finish little projects; Ishii's assumption that makers can rely on odds and ends to make these miniature flowers is spot-on. Using size 2 and 3 needles and fingering wool, she offers 20 realistic little blooms, all ready to pin or sew on a hat or scarf, blouse, or sweater. Ishii explains materials and techniques like I-cords and French knots up front. Each flower - from anemone and cosmos to tulip and violet - is then showcased separately, with colour photographs and good instructions. Here's how to quickly create fields of dreams.
