Raised Leaf Knitting Pattern
This video Raised Leaf Knitting Pattern is a crochet tutorial, not just a knitting pattern. Crochet uses a hooked needle to create loops, whereas knitting uses needles with points to create interlocking stitches.
Here are the materials you'll need:
- Knitting needles (size not specified, but the instructor uses number 3 in the video)
- Crochet hook
- Yarn (in two colors, white and pink)
The instructor guides you through the following steps:
Knit two rows using the harras stitch (also called herringbone stitch).
- Knit seven rows.
- In the eighth row, knit four stitches, then add two extra stitches at the end for a total of six stitches.
- Tie the pink yarn to the project and crochet four stitches into the base row. Then, add another two stitches to bring the total number of stitches in the pink section to eight.
Use the crochet hook to manipulate the stitches to form a raised leaf shape.
- Repeat steps 3-5 to create additional leaves.
- Knit a row with alternating sections of five white stitches and seven pink stitches. Repeat until you reach the desired length.
Turn the project inside out and knit eight rows in white yarn.
- Create another section of raised leaves using crochet.
Knit five more rows in white yarn to finish the project.
