Hello crafters this is Needlepointers.com and today we are going to show you how
to make
a spool knitted flower. If you need instructions on how to use a spool knitter
please visit our instructional video.
The spool knitter is also called, just for your information, the French knitter
and the knitting Nancy. Ok, the first thing
for this flower you need is a 20"
inch spool knitted cord. What you're going to do
is divide it into five sections because you have five petals.
As you see I've already measured it out and I've put pins to do it. The next thing you do
is to thread your
needle with the the yarn. Now what I do is I go in here just to make sure that
it's
sort of in the Center of it.
You're going take it and you're going to go right over to
where you have your pin. That'll be your first petal.
Now, I usually go back through again
just to make sure that it's
secure. Go through it one more time
Ok
Now you're going to pinch together where the next pin is
and
put your needle through.
Pinch the next place
and put your needle through.
I think I will reinforce it now a little bit just to make sure that they're all
secure.
Ok, I have to re-thread my needle.
Okay, I've re-threaded my needle. As I said
you're going to pinch.
Ok.
I think I'm gonna go back through that again
just to be sure it's nice and secure.
Ok.
And now the last one.
Okay there you have your petals. Now
I tie a knot in the back.
You know what I'm going to do before I tie?
I'm going to get this yarn closer to the other
yarn.
Tie your knot in the back.
Now run, so that you don't see it, I run
the needle of through the center of it. and cut it off.
And I would do the same with this one. I would thread my needle
run it through one of the centers of the petals and cut it off.
Now there you have your flower. And like this I embellished with just a little
puff,
fluffy thing. Here I made another spool knitted just a circular thing that
you could add
to it. Or a lot of times you'll see it with
a button. And that's how you make
spool knitted flower.
