Mums are a traditional favourite when it comes to a flower to add accent colour to any room. Here is a way to make knitted mums to grace any decor. The flowers are created in a single unit starting at the stem, then the base, the sepals and multiple layers of petals. The Sepals and Petals are created using short row knitting so there are very few ends to weave in. The directions include two sizes of blooms. A compound leaf pattern is included with the design to help accent the flowers when displayed. Flowers are assembled using floral wire and tape. Each bloom take very little yarn so one skein of the desired colours will make multiple flowers and leaves. Gauge is not extremely important, since the blooms can be made in various size yarns depending on the desired outcome.
