These fern sprouts are a VERY, quick knit! They are knit entirely in the round on dpns, starting at the base/roots with decreases to the start of the sprout and then simple knitting upwards to form a tube where a pipe cleaner goes. To finish, simply curl downward to make a spiral. One sprout takes me roughly 30 minutes. I made these for my husband’s office desk. He loves them and if it wasn’t so dusty I would take a photo xox

Supplies Needed: For a distinct curl you will need a pipe cleaner.
