Tutorial: Simple Fabric Flowers Using Knit Scraps
This tutorial walks you through how to make easy flowers using knit fabric. You’ll create a double layer flower using semi-circles for the petals. The pattern below uses is a circle that’s 2 inches in diameter, but you can also create these flowers with slightly bigger circles and have a similar effect. Attach your flowers to a hair clip, headband, or any other type of accessory to give yourself a spring or summer aesthetic.
