How to knit a corsage

[lexcat]

Following any earlier thread about felt corsages I saw a picture of a knitted one.
Really lovely and thought if would make nice cheap chrissy present of I could make my own.
If anybody knows how to make them your input would be great.

rowan have a pattern (for sale). You might need to scroll down a bit, it's about halfway down the page.

thanks
Anybody out thier that has pattern or knows how to knit then so I don't have to buy a pattern.
Sorry but thinking of way to keep the cost of christmas down as much as possible.

Is this any good?

I like those Cabbage roses - can I ask, what does 'Kfb' mean in the pattern?
It appears to be increasing, doubling, the number of stiches but I don't know how it is doing this.

I have a few pics on my blog from earlier in the year, most of them are woven with one od those little loom type things! But the bottom, right, terracotta one is knitted - a very simply pattern too....but please don't ask me to find it!!!

Look half way down here

[jeangenie]

(am guessing) Kfb may mean knit front and back - ie knit into each side of stitch thereby doubling no. of stitches

Ooh - sounds to complex for my little brain - I wonder if you could get the same effect by increasing in a slightly easier manner ... hmmm.
Thanks anyway

Oh, look - BLOOMING clever, I made a joke and didn't even realise, hahahaha!

THanks gingermonkey just knitted a flower. Got the idea. I just need to work on it as the flower look a little like the picture but not nearly so neat. I'll try a leave later.

You know when you have all these silly ideas floating around in your brain and you just don't know what to do next...but never get the time to try anything anyway!!!
I keep saying I want to make up different stock, I'd keep on doing my cards but do more jewellery and more knitting and sewing.
I really enjoyed making the phone and bag charms last year and for ages now I keep meaning to get around to making more beaded bookmarks.....my list of things to try just keeps getting longer. I also have some canvases and acrylics on top of my storage cupboard now!! Please tell me all of us crafty types are the same!!!

yep, I keep buying things with a view to doing this that or the other and they all sit in the cupboard. Or I start one thing, get distracted and start on something else, lol!!!
I felted a wool blanket the other day, which I will dye (one day next millenium!) and then that will sit in the cupboard not getting used because I will think it's too precious! In fact, I might go and dye a bit now
