I like to knit various types of flowers, and sew them onto ponytail holders. You can do a lot with these, however, and use them to decorate bags or hats, or embellish clothing and accessories. You could even mount them onto sticks to make a bouquet in a vase.

You can easily vary the size and shape of these flowers, by increasing or decreasing the amount of stitches, just make sure that the number of your base round stitches is divisible by the number of petals you intend to have. These are six petal flowers, so the base round had to have 36 stitches. If I wanted 5 petals, my round could have 25 of 30 stitches.

I wrote this using a set of circular needles with a 32” long cable.
