The Hocus Crocus pattern was designed as a collaboration with Stitch Noir to showcase assigned pooling yarns.

Dyed to create the ‘flower’ stitch, the yarn produces green leaves and a splash of colour for the flower in the middle. The stitch is simple to accomplish, once you have created your first one it becomes addictive!

Knitting in the round is always a treat, and adding a splash of colour with the assigned pooling yarn that creates pretty flowers as you go along - that is magic - and Hocus Crocus is exactly that, a little magic as you knit!

Crocus pattern amended on revised PDF to show:

Keep the loops loose
Knit 1 stich
Pass the four “flower” loops over the knitted stitch, starting from the outside loop (longest) to the shortest
Knit 1 stitch
Insert the right needle into the same stitch as the first loop and knit one stitch, pulling the “leaf” loop onto the right needle
