I made the knitted version of the project twiddles twirls flower. Travelling in a car and plane gave me the opportunity to patiently knit 40 tails from 10cm to 15 cm in length. The knitters will know these as icords.
Cast on 3 stitches using a 3.5mm circular needles. I used just the needle part and not the cord.
Knit 3 and do not turn your work. Slide work to opposite end of needle and keep knitting until you reach desired length (anything from 10cm to 15 cm). Cast off.
Keep making them until you have enough to make a flower. Darn in the tails. Fold each icord in half. If you have used different colours, arrange them, then thread strong cotton though the middle of each one until they are joined. Wrap the cotton around the icords and attach to the cuff firmly. Shape the icords like a flower. You might like to put a button or little flower in the middle made from the pattern below.
Such fun to make and can be used for endless possibilities on your twiddle creations. Look for the French knitting top tip story too.
Happy creating everyone!
