Bouquet Flower Pattern - Knitting

Free Knit Pattern - Bouquet Flower Stitch

This stitch would have sent shivers if I saw this few years back as this is definitely not for beginner level. However, I have learnt in many years of my knitting is that it is easiest and fun to knit lace pattern once you understand the pattern once. When I do lace patterns, I feel like a kid waiting to see the pattern to evolve after each line :)

Pls Note : For the bouquet pattern, the knit required is just 13 stitches. However, I added 4 stitches for the edge (2 on each side) and 3 stitches to divide the bouquet pattern

I cast 33 stitches - Long-tailed cast on

Knit - Crocodile Skin Pattern

While I was travelling in the bus early this week, I saw a lady wearing a beautiful cap with this pattern. I wanted to strike a conversation just to check the pattern but I didn't as I don't speak the language where I am now and she wouldn't understand English. However I didn't give up my curiosity and start browsing the internet with possible name of the pattern and I came across this crocodile skin pattern, and viola this is it :) When I saw the cap, I thought the pattern look like a Pine Cone. Anyway if someone wants to name this as Crocodile Skin, be it is :)

And I tried the pattern, here it is sharing with my friends who love to knit

The chart below for this beautiful pattern

Lace pattern / Knit / - Chart included

For the above pattern, I added 4 stitches extra for the sides just for this tutorial

Shell Pattern - Knitting tutorial

This is an amazing piece of knitting pattern which I came across in Youtube recently and could not take my eyes off. The link to the amazing video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXBdQuTx3Zk

I wanted to try my hands on this pattern and managed to learn and knit. Here is the pattern :)

Step 1 : Cast on 28 by using long tail cast on

Step 2 : In this pattern, we start with Purl all and all the remaining wrong sides, we will purl

Step 3 : K5, { YO, K3TOGtbl, YO, K7}x2, YO, K2TOGtbl, K1 (the picture below shows how to do K2TOGtbl)

Step 5 : {K3, SSK(front), YO, K3, YO, SSK(back)}x2, K3, SSK(front), YO, K3
Step 7 : K2 {SSK(front), YO,K5,YO,SSK(back),K1}x2, SSK(front), YO, K4
Step 9 : K1, SSK(front) {YO,K7,YO, K3TOGtbl}x2, YO,K5
The pattern should look like the image below at this stage

Step 11 : at this step we will make the shell pattern -
K3, YO,  K2TOGtbl {K1, long loop stitch eight times, K1, SSK(front), YO, K3, YO,SSK(back)}x2 - this is full shell pattern and for the remaining, we will make half shell pattern, K2
( You can also follow the next images for the shell pattern)

(i) 

(ii)

(iii)

(iv)

(v)

(vi)

(vii)

(viii)

(ix)

(x)
After repeating the previous stitch on all the holes, you will get the pattern below

(xi)
move all the long loop stitch to the back needle

(xii)
my image below is not clear. you have to knit 9 stitch together

(xiii)

This completes all the long loop stitches we have to do for this pattern and from here continue with the pattern
After completing  step 11, the pattern should look like the image below

Step 13 : K4 {YO, K2TOGtbl, K1, SSK(front), YO, K5}x2, YO, K2TOGtbl, K2

Step 15 : same as Step 3

Step 17 : K2, Half Shell pattern, SSK(back) {YO,K3,YO,K2TOGtbl, [K1, shell pattern], K1, SSK(front}x2, YO, K3

Step 19 : K2, SSK(front) {YO, K5,YO,K2TOGtbl, K1, SSK(front)}x2, Yo, K4

Step 21 : K1, SSK(front) {K7, YO, K3TOGtbl}x2, YO, K5

Step 23 : same as Step 11

Step 25 : same as Step 13

Step 27 : same as Step 3

Now the pattern should look like this
