Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a Lily of the Valley Flower Square.
This square would work great as a washcloth or dishcloth , or you could put it together with some of the other squares to make an afghan.

Size and Materials
Size depends on yarn and needle size used:
With DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 4 mm (US 6, UK 8) knitting needles, finished squares are approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)
With Worsted Weight yarn and and 4.5 mm knitting needles (US size 7, UK size 7) finished square is approximately 26 cm x 26 cm (10 inches x 10 inches)
Any sized needle and yarn can be used (please refer to yarn label for recommended needle size), however different needle and yarn sizes will produce different sized squares, so if you plan to make an afghan or a set of these it is best to use the same needle size and yarn for each square.

I love your Lily of the Valley pattern- please make more flower patterns- that would be super having a throw made out of different flower squares
Glad you like the pattern 😊 I have more flowers planned – a flower throw would be great!
Thank you for the patterns. I am using a few on knit blankets I am making for my 2 (grown-up) sons.
Thanks Elaine, glad you like the patterns and it’s always awesome to hear what people are making from them 😊
Hello. Thank you for your brilliant designs. I’m using some of them to make a blanket for my expected grandbaby. Any chance of a llama? Baby’s mum loves them. Thanks again.
Thank you for your amazing patterns!
Love all your patterns. Doing a throw with flowers ,Birds and Animals.
