Small Knitted Dogwood Blossoms

Hello knitters and happy spring!

If you follow me on social media, you know that I’ve been working on a petite version of the Knitted Dogwood Blossoms pattern. The original pattern was first released seven years ago and if you saw my video tutorial for this pattern, you’ll see that I mentioned a smaller version of the knitted flowers. Well, here we are, SEVEN years later…

So, in celebration of the first day of spring, here is the pattern. Also, thank you to everyone who’s stuck around and waited for this!

Cut the yarn and leave a 7-inch tail. Using a tapestry needle or yarn needle, run the tail through the 2 live stitches and pull tight. Repeat Rows 1-4 until you have four petals.

Bud

CO 3 sts. Knit 2” (5 cm) long I-Cord and bind off. Fold the I-Cord in half and sew the two ends together.

Assembling Flower

Cut green yarn approximately 7” (18cm) long. Thread the yarn through the petals (as shown below), tighten the yarn, and tie a knot. Pull the loose ends of the petals to the back of the flower.

Attach the bud through the middle of the flower and use the loose ends to sew the bud to the flower. Weave in all loose ends.

There you go! A small knitted dogwood blossom flower!
